chapter 2

What understanding of the afterlife does the epic suggest?
The epic suggest that Gilgamesh and Enkidu meet up they engage in a titanic wrestling match which Gigamesh emerge victorious. The bond that they had was like no other. They took on adventures together. During the adventures they offended the gods which means Enkidu must die. The lost of Enkidu mad him search for eternal life. On his search he mets a goddess name Siduri, the only human being ever granted immortality by the gods. Gilgamesh learns that afterlife is not available to mere the mortals and thus his quest proves futile.

chapter 2.
Historians use the term "civilization" a new type of human society mad possible by the immense productivity of the agricultural revolution.People were organized and controlled by states whose leaders could use force to compel obedience. Like agriculture civilization was showing up independently in seven major locations scattered around the world during the several millennia after 3500 b.c.e.. In the long run humans had a break through to a new way of life, practicing other ways of living. There were three places civilization emerged too. One was cradle of the middle eastern. The second was the Egyptian civilization then the Peru. Norte Chinco was a distinctive civilization in many ways. The city was smaller than those in Mesopotamia. It showed less evidence. The economy was based on unusual degree like rich fishing. Fishing was used to exchange items for cottons, fishing nets, and food crops such as squash, beans, guava. This were mostly grown by inland people by the river valleys using irrigation.

What do i think of Claudius and Xinchen as leaders?
As leaders i think that they are different people. Claudius is a person who only cares about him self and not others. He completed public work that other people couldn't. He had great essential things like a fountain, lake, drainage channel. He wanted all the glory from it. This labor took 30,000 men and 11 years.

Now Xinchen was a great leader. He cared about his people. He was a person of energy and plans he took an interest in creating benefits for the people and regard it as his urgent task to enrich them. He was personally involved with his work. He loved to farm. He also liked to travel. He inspected the waters and springs. He dug canals and ditches and built water gates and dikes in several tens of places in all to expand the irrigation land. The land increased year by year to 500,000 acres. The people obtained benefits from it. And he sorta water for them so people wouldn't fit over it.

Xinchen is a better leader because he cared about his people not like Claudius did. Xinchen was  a man to his people. Who wants a leader who just makes them do labor work all the time nobody does. People want a leader who will lead them into the right direction and thats what Xinchen did. Lead them in the right direction without having problems about the water. Xinchen people just wanted the little things they did not care about how nice the fountains or how big things were. Xinchen people was happy about what they got.

The things we know about the pre lit past is that people didn't leave things behind. We could only stud things through drawing and sculptures. The early human walked erect, had opposable thumb, good eyesight, visual intentions, and a large brain.

I think of Nissa's description of what Paleolithic people might have been like as different. In Nissa's life everything to her was difficult. She was living in a bush trying to get her own food. But for paleolithic people is was all about the hunting and gathering.
