The ancient Mayans are very popular even today for their achievements. These accomplishments have been achieved by them without the aid of any of the modern day technology. The Mayas were the one of the most advanced civilizations in of their times.Maya architecture spans several thousands of years. Often the most dramatic and easily recognizable as Maya are the stepped pyramids and temples.The Maya were master builders.The Mayans had built temples, pyramids and other structures on the basis of their astronomical understanding.

Mayan ruins are the leftover archaeological sites of the Mayan civilization which existed between 1300 BCE - 1200 CE. The Mayans are known for being an extremely advanced civilization that flourished primarily between 300 CE -900 CE. The Mayans inhabited lands in the current day Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Belize, and they were responsible for building large monuments to carry out numerous rituals and ceremonies. The ruins of these ceremonial monuments can be visited at hundreds of locations around areas of Mexico and Central America.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1. OLMECS AND MAYAS
Based on: http://www.slideshare.net/jmarazas/wh-
chapter-7-olmecs-and-mayas#
2. LEGACY OF THE OLMECS
The earliest American civilization emerged in the
tropical forests along the Mexican Gulf Coast
The Olmec civilization lasted from about 1400BC-
500BC
Archaeologists know very little about the Olmecs
Rich tombs and temples suggest that a powerful
class of priests and aristocrats stood at the top of
Olmec society
The Olmecs did not build cities---instead they built
ceremonial centers
5. LEGACY OF THE OLMECS
The most dramatic remains of the Olmec civilization
are the giant carved stone heads found in the ruins
of a religious center at La Venta
No one knows how the Olmecs moved these
colossal 40-ton stones from distant quarries without
wheeled vehicles or draft animals
7. LEGACY OF THE OLMECS
Through trade, Olmec influence spread over a wide
area
The Olmecs invented a calendar and used carved
inscriptions as a form of writing
Their most important legacy may be the tradition of
priestly leadership and religious devotion that
became a basic part of later Middle American
civilizations
9. THE WORLD OF THE MAYAS
Between 300AD-900AD Mayan city-states
flourished from the Yucatan in southern Mexico
through much of Central America
Mayans used a unique method of farming in the
tropical environment---they cleared the dense rain
forests and then built raised fields that caught and
held rainwater
They also built channels to drain excess water
This complex system produced enough maize
(native corn) and other crops to support rapidly
growing cities
15. TEMPLES AND PALACES
Towering pyramid temples dominated the largest
Mayan city of Tikal, located in present-day
Guatemala
Priests climbed steep temple stairs to perform
sacrifices while the people watched from the plazas
below
The Mayan pyramids remained the tallest
structures in the world until 1903 when the Flatiron
Building skyscraper was built in New York City
18. TEMPLES AND PALACES
Tikal also boasted large palaces and huge stone
pillars covered with carvings
The carvings recorded event in Mayan history
Much of the wealth of Tikal and other Mayan cities
came from trade
Goods traded included: honey, cocoa, cotton
cloth, and feathers
26. ENGINEERING AN EMPIRE
Watch the episode of Engineering and Empire and
describe the building techniques and importance of:
Tikal
Palenque
Chichen Itza
27. SOCIAL CLASSES
Each Mayan city has its own ruling chief
Nobles served as military leaders and officials who
managed public works, collected taxes, and
enforced laws
Rulers were usually men, however, Mayan records
and carvings show that women occasionally
governed on their own or in the name of young
sons
Priests held great power because only they could
conduct the elaborate ceremonies needed to
ensure good harvests and success in war
28. SOCIAL CLASSES
Most Mayans were farmers
They grew corn, beans, squash---the basic food
crops of Middle America---as well as fruit
trees, cotton, and brilliant tropical flowers
Men grew the crops while women turned them into
food
To support the cities, farmers paid taxes in food and
helped build the temples
29. ADVANCES IN LEARNING
The Mayans developed a hieroglyphic writing
system, which has only recently been deciphered
Mayan scribes kept their sacred knowledge in
books made of bark (Spanish conquistadors later
burned most of these books but a handful were
taken to Europe and are in museums)
Many priests were expert mathematicians and
astronomers and developed an accurate 365-day
solar calendar
Mayan priests invented a numbering system and
understood the concept of zero
31. ENTERTAINMENT: MAYAN BALL GAME
1st Team Sport in History (3500 years ago)
Much of society revolved around the game
Survival of both the players and spectators
depended upon the results of the game
Mayans sacrificed people to the gods to keep the
sun shining, crops growing and keep people
healthy.
What was more valuable than a ball player??
32. MAYAN BALL GAME
The goal of the game was to pass the ball
around, without having it touch your hands, and
then get the ball to pass through one of the rings.
Since the rings were so high and players were not
allowed to use their hands, it was extremely difficult
to get the ball through a ring.
In fact, when a player did manage to get a ball
through a ring, that usually ended the game.
People would gamble on the results
35. WHAT’S UP WITH THE MAYAN CALENDAR?
Was supposedly supposed to end on the Winter
Solstice in December 2012
Calendar wasn’t invented by the Mayans, most
cultures in the areas used it
Consists of 3 different wheels – Date, Tzolkin
(Divine) and Haab (Civil)
A typical Mayan date would read: 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ahau
8 Kumku, where 13.0.0.0.0 is the Long Count
date, 4 Ahau is the Tzolkin date and 8 Kumku is the
Haab date.
Works in a cycle and a set number of days needs to
occur before a new cycle begins
37. DECLINE
About 900AD, the Mayans abandoned their
cities, leaving their great stone palaces and temples
to be swallowed up by the jungle (some of these
were not “rediscovered” till modern times)
No one knows for sure why the Mayan civilization
declined
Some remnants of the civilization survive today:
millions of people in Guatemala and southern
Mexico speak Mayan languages and are
descendents from the original Mayans
38. INVESTIGATION
Exercise to determine why the Mayans fell
Some causes may have been---frequent
warfare, overpopulation and over farming, and
heavy taxes
