Today in west civ. Mr schick finally got his sound on his computer to work. We started to watch the movie and so far it is kind of weird. Seeing the way they would encase the deceased king's face in wax and make masks out of it. It was really nasty. We also learned about the destruction of Carthage in Africa. Rome completely looted and burned carthage to the ground. The enslaved the remaining people in the city. Tiberius Gracchus was the main individual who contributed to the victory over carthage.

Today in west civ we talked for a little bit in the beginning of class because Mr. Schick couldn't get his computer to play the video. So we had to watch the video on our own laptops. I watched about 15 minutes of the video and its an hour so I have a long way to go but so far the video looks very interesting and I am eager to watch more.

Today in west civ. we learned about the Punic wars and how they were fought and who fought them. The punic wars were fought between the romans and the carthaginians. The first war was fought on sea as both of them tried to gain control of the islands surrounding the peninsula. Roman came out on top, when they burned the city of carthage to ruins and enslaved the living people there.
