The Nazca culture flourished in southern Peru from around 100 BC to 800 AD, centered around the ceremonial site of Cahuachi. They developed an agricultural society and intricate aqueduct systems called puquios to sustain life in the arid environment. The Nazca are known for their beautiful polychrome pottery painted with vivid colors and textiles featuring motifs also found in pottery designs. They created geoglyphs known as the Nazca Lines, giant designs visible from the air, between 500-800 AD covering an area of hundreds of square kilometers in the Nazca desert. Archaeologists have proposed various theories for the purpose of these enormous glyphs, but their exact meaning remains mysterious.

The Inca Empire spanned South America from Colombia to Chile before being conquered by the Spanish in the 1530s. Despite lacking technologies like the wheel, they built an extensive road network and developed advanced agricultural techniques. The Inca built spectacular cities like Machu Picchu high in the Andes mountains without the use of strong draft animals or iron tools. They had a complex religion that included human sacrifice and mummification. The Spanish were able to defeat the Inca through disease and superior weapons after capturing the Inca ruler Atahualpa. Though the empire fell, Inca cultural influences like textiles
Aztec pd
The Aztecs were an ancient civilization that lived in Mexico over 500 years ago. Archaeological excavations have revealed many aspects of their culture and daily life. The Aztecs were both skilled warriors and craftsmen, known for building temples and pyramids and practicing human sacrifice. They developed advanced agricultural techniques like creating artificial islands called chinampas for farming. While the Aztecs dominated the region for many years, their empire fell after the arrival of Spanish colonizers who brought diseases that killed much of the population.

Pre-colonial Philippine art was diverse and vibrant. Indigenous groups created pottery, woven textiles, carved wood and bone, made jewelry and metal crafts. Art was integrated into rituals marking important life events like planting and harvesting. Distinctive art forms and styles existed among groups like the Ifugao's hagabi benches and wood carvings. Early artworks include Neolithic jars from Palawan containing human figures. Indigenous musical and dance traditions with regional variations flourished, accompanied by instruments like kudyapi and kulintang. Tattooing and gold ornamentation were also documented. Overall, art was deeply rooted in each community's cultural practices and beliefs before colonization.
Aztec inca & maya
The document describes three ancient civilizations - the Aztecs, Mayas, and Incas. It provides details about the size and locations of their empires, important cities, architecture such as pyramid structures, religious practices including human sacrifices, and agricultural importance. All three civilizations had complex societies with social hierarchies, taxation systems, and advanced knowledge of astronomy, mathematics, and agriculture for their times.
Aztecs, Inca & Maya
The document discusses three major civilizations of Central and South America: the Aztecs, Mayas, and Incas. It provides background information on their cultures, achievements, and ways of life. The Aztecs built the city of Tenochtitlan on Lake Texcoco and were known for human sacrifice. The Mayas had advanced knowledge of astronomy and built pyramid temples used as calendars. The Inca Empire stretched along the west coast of South America, and they constructed elaborate road systems and cities made of stone.
Incas
The Inca Empire was a vast kingdom in the Andes Mountains of South America created in the 15th century by the Quechua people. [1] The Incas built a wealthy and complex civilization that ruled over 5-11 million people through a complex government system based in Cuzco. [2] They accomplished significant engineering feats like large stone structures and suspension bridges without modern technologies. [3] The Incas had a highly organized society, religion, and arts before being conquered by the Spanish in the early 16th century.
Navajo emergency and social imginary and archaeology
The document summarizes recent archaeological findings that challenge traditional theories about the emergence of Navajo culture. Excavations at sites in Dinétah dating from 1541 to 1625 uncovered artifacts and evidence of maize agriculture consistent with early Navajo culture, rather than gradual acculturation. This suggests Navajo culture emerged quickly and distinctly, rather than developing slowly through mixing with Puebloan groups as previously theorized. The prominence of maize agriculture in the earliest sites matches its importance in Navajo oral traditions, showing how archaeology can support indigenous accounts of cultural origins.
Pre conquest arts
The document discusses the history and forms of art in the Philippines prior to colonization. It describes how early Filipinos integrated art into everyday life and rituals to mark important community events. As local communities established themselves, artistic expressions evolved beyond crafts to include decorative elements and meanings. The document outlines some of the major art forms that developed in pre-colonial Philippines, including music, weaving, sculpture, painting, pottery, woodwork, metalwork and architecture. It emphasizes that Filipinos applied their artistic skills to weaving, sculpture, architecture and other art forms long before foreigners discovered and utilized the country's natural resources.

Nan Madol is an ancient ruined city located on Pohnpei Island in Micronesia. It consists of 92 artificial islands built from basalt rocks in a lagoon connected by canals. It served as the royal capital and ceremonial center for the Sau Deleur dynasty from 1100-1628 CE. The islands were arranged in a strategic pattern to take advantage of prevailing winds and separated social classes. Nan Madol had no fresh water or food supply on site, so residents relied on resources brought by boat from the mainland, which eventually led to its decline. The city showcases impressive stonework and engineering skills for its time.
Navajo Weaving by Karina Chaves
The Navajo Reservation spans parts of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado, surrounded by four sacred mountains. Navajo people are renowned weavers, with traditions passed down from Spider Man and Spider Woman. Weaving evolved from blankets to rugs over time as markets developed. The process is very labor intensive, taking over 300 hours to make one blanket. While weaving was an important cultural tradition, many modern Navajo have turned to other jobs due to the limited economic opportunities in weaving.
Chapter 7
This chapter discusses several ancient Mesoamerican civilizations including the Toltec, Maya, Aztec, Incas, Iroquois League, Mound Builders, Anasazi, Cuzco, Mochica, and Tenochtitlan. It provides brief overviews of the origins, locations, cultures, and time periods of each civilization.
Incas civilization
The Inca civilization flourished in Peru from 1400 to 1534 CE and built the largest empire in the Americas, extending from modern-day Ecuador to Chile. The Incas developed an advanced civilization with sophisticated urban planning, agriculture, and architecture. However, a civil war combined with disease epidemics brought by the Spanish led to the fall of the Inca Empire in the 1530s and its conquest by the Spanish.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
