5. God did not like it
that they were self-
sufficient in their
attitudes. They were
proud. So God
confused their
speech and
dispersed the
people.
6. Man could no longer clearly communicate.
Today 5,000 different languages exist.
7. People moved to their
own areas. Because of
this, distinct genetic
differences started to
appear: skin color, eye
color and shape, noses,
etc. Before long, races of
people would develop.
9. Each rock piece
is about 28
tons. They are
in the shape of
a circle
10. It is in England. The
amazing mystery is
how men could have
moved rocks of that
size without modern-
day equipment! It is
believe that some of
the rocks were carried
from as far away as 300
miles!
11. Another interesting fact is the placement of the
rocks. They are in connection to the rising and
setting of the sun. They were positioned to
measure the moon and seasons as well.
12. There are many of
these types of Stone
formations around the
world, but none as
impressive as this one!
13. They may have been used as meeting places,
worship or to study the stars. All of them reflect
that man was pretty smart.
14. If you visit England today, you can still see
Stonehenge. It was built over 4,000 year ago. It
would be neat to touch something almost as old
as Noah’s ark!
15. In the early days of Egypt, the
land was divided between
what was called Upper Egypt
and Lower Egypt
16. Upper Egypt
was in the
south along
the Nile River
and was higher
land. Lower
Egypt was near
where the Nile
River spills into
the
Mediterranean
Sea.
17. Upper Egyptians were artistic and grew grain. Their
symbol was the sedge plant and they worshiped the
vulture goddess.
18. The Lower Egyptians were good with tools and
buildings. Their symbol was the bee and they
worshiped the cobra goddess.
19. The Minoans lived on an island in the middle of
the Mediterranean Sea. They are also called the
Cretans.
20. They were quite advanced.
They had a huge palace
covered in frescoes and had
ivory bathtubs with toilets.
They worshiped many gods.
21. These people flourished for only about 800 years. We do
not know why they came to a sudden halt. There was a
terrible volcano on a nearby island that may explain why
they disappeared from history. No one knows for sure
22. A man, many years later by the name of Plato,
wrote about a city who was so wicked that it sunk.
He may have used these people for the basis of his
story. (Atlantis)
