A visit to the Library

A Visit To The Library


I visited the Library located in the University "Del Valle" and learned how to look for books in a library.


The experience of searching the location of the books through the Digital catalog and the Physical catalog was interesting and somewhat fun. I went and looked for the theme i wanted to read and got all the information on what bookshelf to find it on, was a really easy system to learn and finding the book wasnt as hard as i thought it would be.
The library used the US' congress library classification system.


The Books I Read


1.-HAARP: The Ultimate Weapon of  Conspiracy
Is about a conspiracy theory surround a group of antennas used by the US Government located in Alaska


2.-The Maya
Is a book about the Mayan language, traditions, buildings and many other themes surrounding the Mayas

A Craddle of Civilization

A  Craddle of Civilization



Israel and its neighbors are in the area of the Fertile Crescent. The civilization in this area began practicing agriculture, they developed new tools for farming, for example: Plows



The villages these agricultors had built grew into being towns. One of the oldest being Jericho still exists today and is now called the West Bank.

The origins of Judaism


In the present day Israel and Palestinian Territories were once called Canaan. The people in Canaan were pagans meaning they worship multiple Gods. People known as Israelites moved into the region of Canaan, the Israelites practiced monontheism meaning they would only worship one God, the religion of Israelites came to be known as Judaism.

 The Israelites rejected the Caanites so they left to Egypt but they were enslaved by them, according to the Bible, Moses, a prophet went to Egypt to free Israelites from the Pharaoh power and guided them to Jerusalem, howerver Jerusalem, known as the Israelite Kingdom of Judah at the time, was conquered by the Babylonia Empire in 587 B.C.

The Babylonian Empire destroyed the Temple of Jerusalem and kept captive many Judah people, however Persian Empire defeated Babylonian Empire and all the Judah scattered in a diaspora. After this the Judad began calling themselves Jews. The Region eventually came under control of the Roman Empire which forced Jews to pay massive amount of money in taxes, also killed thousands of Jews throughout this time. Many Jews fled the region and the Romans banned the entrance of Jews to Jerusalem.
