Our timeline

Today we are doing a timeline. It is very interesting. We are starting from 3000 B.C to 1000 B.C., which is time of the Fertile Crescent to the Mycenaeans. I like the Egyptians the best because they built the Great Pyramids. I also like the Phonecians. They made purple dye from snails called murex. You had to boil it for about 10 days and it smelled awful. But it made the most beautiful dye and it was very expensive so only rich people and kings could afford it. That is why purple is considered a royal color. We have to finish our ancient history timeline and then we will start a timeline on the Greeks and Romans.
