The document discusses two shipwrecks from the Late Bronze Age Mediterranean - Cape Gelidonya from around 1200 BCE and Uluburun from the late 14th century BCE. It describes the cargoes found on each ship, which provide evidence of trade networks between the Aegean, Cyprus, Egypt, and the Levantine coast. The Uluburun shipwreck in particular contained a large variety of goods, such as ingots, weapons, glass, and pottery, indicating it was carrying commodities from multiple places and cultures around the Mediterranean on an established trade route. Analysis of the artifacts suggests the ship was Canaanite or Cypriot and heading to the Aegean with goods transported
The Mycenaean civilization flourished during the period roughly between 1600 BC. It perished with the collapse of bronze age civilization in the eastern Mediterranean.

In 2.0 version of the presentation, I have added several slides on the Srivijaya and of the Chola Empire and reconstruction of the Borobudur ship.
To cover over 2 millennium of maritime trade, in the Middle East, India, SE Asia and China under 50 slides, can only give us the briefest gleam into the course of history. To get the benefit of the slides, you will need to set aside some time to read through the contents. Our perceptions on the maritime contacts are changing too. The discovery in particular of dozens of ancient shipwrecks in Southeast Asia has built up a picture of the historic trade and the technology.
The voyage of the Chinese mariner Zhenghe and his voyages to the Indian Ocean. Until recently it is relatively unknown in the West. When I get started, I found that these spectacular Zhenghe's voyages were only the last brilliant chapter of the Asian Maritime book, before the arrival of the European by sea. As I dig deeper, I discovered dozen of shipwrecks and the achievements went far into the past.
The Srivijaya was the Asian equivalent of the European maritime power, like Venice. Their power was based on the control of the sea-lanes, with a series of ports and they rarely ventured into the hinterlands. This and other powers in Southeast Asia were in turned seeded by an even older maritime power in south India, the Cholas Empire. From India the journey took me further west to the lands of the Arab and Persian, the maritime world of Sinbad the Sailor. Until the arrival of the European and before the development of the Chinese maritime network in the Tang Dynasty, Arab dhows sailed across the ocean and the seas from ends to ends, linking distance people of China to the European. At last, I arrived in Alexandria, the ancient trading hub of the Mediterranean world, a bridge between the East with the West.
In the slides, I have included three incidences of overseas traders being massacred in Chinese history. This is not to put black marks on an otherwise successful Chinese civilisation, but to remind ourselves how history have been sanctified one way or another. History should be a honest account of the past, without distortions and omissions. History is the witness. I hope in these few slides, would help to understanding an aspect of human civilization on Earth. Too often our own ego-centric interest becomes a source of our own ignorance.

The Philippine archipelago was considered as one of the nation's maritime trade coasts which had connections with nearby communities and countries that traded its merchandise and luxury items. In Palawan and Zambales, locals unexpectedly discovered drunken commercial vessels containing artifacts on how people in the past have done their trading which dated back to 1521.
Petra, the lost city, as the name suggests was once lost and literally carved from the sandstones of southern Jordan. The place enthralls its visitors with some awe-inspiring agricultural, engineering and architectural stone carving skills of the early nomadic Arab tribe, ‘the Nabataeans’. Located at about 3 hours south of Amman, the capital of Jordan, with amazing tombs, amphitheatre, fountains and sacrifice altar, you find mysticism and history in the same place!

Art and Culture - 03 - Homer and End of Bronze AgeRandy Connolly
Third module for GNED 1201 (Aesthetic Experience and Ideas). This one covers how the historical and cultural context of Homer. It begins by examining art and society of the Minoans and then the Mycenaeans. It then examines Homer, the Iliad, and the Odyssey.
This course is a required general education course for all first-year students at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Canada. My version of the course is structured as a kind of Art History and Culture course. Some of the content overlaps with my other Gen Ed course.
This anthology of ancient and fresh archaeological artifacts paints a cohesive arc from the beginning of the Neolithic Revolution to the first empires of Uruk and Egypt, ignited around the Black Sea by the Kurgan Copper revolution.

Humans are in born explorers. Throughout history, one of the deepest human impulses has been the
drive to voyages to explore, encounter, and reveal the unknown. The history of exploration is complete
with noteworthy success stories and the unfortunate failures of many explorers. People have always
been curious about the world and this quest for knowledge has driven explorers on bold adventures
throughout the ages. Voyages and Exploration has also been motivated by the desire for wealth and
power, the wish to spread one’s culture and religion, and the need to reach new trading partners. Many
navigational tools and map-making developed over time have enabled explorers to reach these goals.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
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.

As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.
2. Models of Trade
Independent Merchants
•Wealthy merchant class drove trade between civilisations
•E.g. Sinaru (Ras Sharma tablets 16.238+254 “From the present
Ammistamru, son of Niqmepa, King of Ugarit, exempts Sinaranu, son
of Siginu… his grain, his beer, his olive oil to the palace he shall not
deliver. His ship is exempt when it arrives in Crete.”)
Royal gift Exchange
•Exchange of precious commodities in the form of gifts between kings
•Armarna Letters (EA 24 “And now my brother is going to see the
things that I have dispatched to my brother. Thus I will dispatch to my
brother gifts”)
‘Kula Ring’
•Royal trade as a way of subsidising private commerce

4. X Cape Gelidonya
(ca. 1200 BCE)
Dating Cape Gelidonya:
Radiocarbon dating on organics and
relative dating on pottery=ca. 1200 BCE
basketry
Again, Aegean pottery (Mycenaean
stirrup jars) useful for dating the shipwreck
5. All that remains of the ship (!): a single tenon (with a peg hole)
Dimensions of the wreck site: 10 meters (length)
3-4 meters (breadth)
**the ship was probably smaller than Uluburun = 15:5 m
6. X Cape Gelidonya
(ca. 1200 BCE)
Less than 1 ton of metal, including baskets of scrap metal
and small quantities of tin—and very few ceramic
storage/transport containers, and no high prestige ‘luxury’ objects
7. Baskets of scrap metal and tools for metal working, including a swage
(a kind of mould) stone hammers and anvils (this kind of thing is not
observed on Uluburun)
8. X Cape
Gelidonya
(ca. 1200 BCE)
Weights and seals, all broadly of Syro-Palestinian origin and found
near to one another
9. • The interpretive significance of the Cape Gelidonya shipwreck (when it was
published in 1967)
• Distribution of exported Aegean ceramics (1400-1200 BCE)
• Before Cape Gelidonya it was widely believed that the Minoans and Mycenaeans
were the dominant traders in the Late Bronze Age eastern Mediterranean
Minos is the earliest of those known to us by hearsay who made a navy. He exercised a power over the greater part of
what is now known as the Hellenic Sea. He ruled over the Cyclades Islands and was the first to colonise many of
them, driving out the Karians [The earliest ruler known to have possessed a fleet was Minos. He made himself
master of the people from the southern coast of modern turkey] and setting up his own sons as leaders. He just as
reasonably tried to clear away piracy from the sea, as much as he was able, so that the revenues should come to him
more easily.
- Thucydides, The Peloponnesian War 1.14
• Cape Gelidonya revealed for the first time the shipment of a bulk cargo,
including metal which is very elusive in the ‘terrestrial’ archaeological record,
and vital to Bronze Age societies and economies

26. • Suggestion that the last port of call was perhaps Ugarit and
before that, a port on Cyprus.
• E. Cline: the cargo of the ship is an important manifestation
of trade between the LH/LM IIIA2 Aegean and the greater
Levant.
• Bachhuber: “elements of the Uluburun cargo appear to be
manifestations of elite exchange, the ship seems to be
sailing towards the Aegean. “
The Origins of the Ship
27. The Origins of the Crew
• Bachhuber: the nature of the Uluburun cargo can lay
a foundation from which we can begin to speculate
about the origins of its personnel.
• How do you determine the relationship between
material culture & ethnicity?
• Language
• Religion
• Identification with a specific territory
• A shared myth of origin
28. Conclusion
• Bass: the wreck appears to be an indication of a
sea-route for the east to west transport of copper
in the eastern Mediterranean throughout the
Late Bronze Age
• Bachhuber: there is enough evidence to suggest
the ship was on route to the Aegean, from the
Near East
• INA: The presence of at least two Mycenaeans on
board is indicated while the ship & its crew are
thought to be of Canaanite or Cypriot origin
