Travel Back In Time With Me

Chapter 2

Now I went to see The Foundation of Rome and I patiently watched in slow motion so that I can understand from where it started and ended so what I saw was that Rome began as a small village in center Italy's Tiger river stretch from north Atlantic ocean to Persian gulf and according to my understanding there are three major periods Regal , Republican, Imperial . There were so many rulers and the first one to start the whole roman empire was Romulus (753-716 BC) who killed his twin brother Remus , Numa Pompil (715-673BC), Tollus Hostilius(673-642 BC), Ancus Marcius (642-616 BC), Lucius Tarquinius Priscus (616-579 BC), Seruius Tullius (578-535 BC), Lucius Tarquinius Superbus(535-509 BC) under Regal period. In the Republican Period the most important figure was Julius Caesar (509 BC to 27 BC). I was amazed by seeing the rulers and the expansion of roman empire. Now comes the Imperial period (27 BC -476 AD) during which the notorious ruler Octavian and cruel ruler NERO and slowly was the expansion of Greek, Egypt , Britain ,Europe and the building of 50,000 mile long road system, Aqueducts were constructed to improve public health and paved the way for bath houses , a key to Rome success was because of the cultures from the lands they conquered From nearby land of LATIUM Rome acquired the Latin language which became the official language and the ancestor to Spanish, French , Italian , Portuguese and Romanian, also adopted from the Etruscans religion, Alphabet and Gladiator Combat. influenced by ancient Greeks is most apparent in art and Architecture upper class imitated Greek art, such as the Pantheon and Colosseum, rise of Christianity originated in middle east and the first emperor to convert into Christianity is Constantine he enabled the Christian state by the 4th century the roman empire declined political corruption , economic crisis and class conflict led to the decade and invasion and military threats caused breakdown from outside. I was really flabbergasted while seeing the brave emperors and ability to control their swords and the original fresh view of the Colosseum like when it was recently made and how actually was the roman empire I got so many things cleared .

Next historical event which I would like to go is in the Battle of Marathon . The Battle of Marathon took place in the year 490 BC before the Greek invasion. It was fought between the inhabitants of Athens, with the help of Plataea, and the Persian army under Datis and Artaphernes. This war was the result of Persia's first attempt, under King Darius I, to conquer Greece. Greek forces firmly decimated the vast majority of Persians, which turned out to be a revolution. The thing that I loved seeing was that how in a vast number people use to fight which we only see in movies but movies are not that real what i experienced standing there the soldiers and the want of blood for their army how talented they were in fighting with swords and arrows I was terrified but somewhat amazed by seeing the bloody scenes .

Now I wanted to know Aristotle and Plato so I went to 360 BC Aristotle and Plato were philosophers in ancient Greece who studied ethics, science, politics, and more. Although some of Plato's works survived for centuries, Aristotle's contributions evidently had a profound effect, especially in regard to science and logical reasoning. Although both philosophical works are considered insignificant in theory in modern times, they continue to have large historical significance. Plato believed that concepts had a universal, precise form, that led to his philosophical aspirations. Aristotle believed that the universal forms of the universe were not composed of one thing or another, and that each example of an object or idea had to be analyzed on its own. This view leads to Aristotelian Empiricism. For Plato, attempting to think and reason is not enough to "prove" the idea or to establish the attributes of an object, but Aristotle objected to this seeking direct attention and knowledge. In a sense, Plato was inclined to use deceptive reasoning, while Aristotle used irrational reasoning. The syllogism, the basic unit of thought (if A = B, and B = C, then A = C), was developed by Aristotle .Both Aristotle and Plato believe that the mind is higher than the senses. However, while Plato believed that the senses could be deceptive, Aristotle argued that the senses were needed to establish the truth. An example of this variation is that of a caveman named Plato. To him, the earth was like a cave, and one could see shadows cast in the outer light, so the only truth could be imagination. In Aristotelian's way, the obvious remedy is to get out of the cave and hear what emits light and shadows directly, rather than relying solely on indirect or internal knowledge. They were the first to introduce these terminologies and give an another opinion of the same thing .
