This one


http://www.42explore2.com/aztec.htm
This site is about Aztecs. I read two paragraphs. Aztecs came to Mexico during the 13th century. They build a big city. They build temple and pyramids. Until Spanish conquistadors arrived to the Mexico and defeat the Aztecs in 1519. According to Aztec legend at the begin of the 12th to the 13th century, the Aztec peoples migrate south to the Valley of Mexico to search teh place to live.

This site is about Maya. I read about their Pottery. Mayas made many potteries. They are very small, but we can see the picture on it very well. They made alot of Pottery figures.

Around 1400 CE, the Aztec government began conquering neighboring tribes. They need many things to manage their growing population. They needed new cities to build house their population. They needed more new lands to feed their population. They needed new captives to feed their hungry gods. The God is important to them is the god of sun. The think if they stoped to worship it. The world will break.




http://incas.mrdonn.org/index.html

This site is about Incas. I read whole site. They never hunt wheel. They never invent the system of writing. The Incas built thousands of miles of well-paved road. Very long. The Sapa Inca was all-powerful. They like the king. They make laws, manage ruled.

http://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/subjects/alexanderthegreat.htm
I read the post. I learn that he is an undefeated warrior who changed the world in the past. He wants to revenge that the terrible attacks form that Persians has wrought under Darius the Great and Xerxes. The Greece weaken the Persian because of winning the heroic battles at Marathon, Salamis, and Plat.

In 325BC. Northern India is all redy couquered by Alexander, and he has couquered the Persians empire. He didn't stay very long at NOrthern India. He left a couple of years and went back to Babylon. He died very soon when he back to the Babylon.

Alexander was born at about July 20. 356 B.C.E. The exact date maybe created after the fact to match. Nevertheless, the date on which Philip heard news of the birth has coincide with the announcement to Philip of Parmenio's success in Illyria and the victory of his horse at the Olympic games.
Alexander has fair skinned, with a ruddy tinge to his face and chest. Plutarch stated that he had a pleasing scent. He likes all Macedonians, Alexander likes his liquor.
