They also believed that certain groups of starts were important deities, and other stars were lesser deities. Without these abilities life for the Inca people would have been much different, and probably a lot harder than what it
They represent Jaguar (1st sun), wind (2nd sun), rain (3rd sun, and water (4th sun). Also, each sun shows the manner of death. Additionally, the first sun is comprised of death by jaguars, followed by high wind death, death by rains of fire, and death by water.

In the classical era of civilization (600 B.C.E. - 600 C.E.) there was a diffusion of cultures between Greek, Persia, Egypt, and India that was brought about by the conquest of Alexander the Great of Greece (During 332-322 B.C.E.). This period is known as the Hellenistic era and in this period the four regions of Greek, Persia, Egypt, and India shared culture and common trade. This period also brought a connection between the four empires in a political sense as well. The difference between the Greek and Hellenistic cultures was that the Hellenistic culture was a mix of the regions of Persia, Greece, Egypt, and India. This truth is evident in the architectural designs and the style of government used in The Hellenistic region.

I will discuss early religion and navigation, stargazing, and observatories. Astronomy to Early Hawaiians played a significant role in religion. They believe that early Polynesian gods and demi-gods derived from the heavens and the demi-god Maui was especially known for astronomical deeds such as snaring the sun to slow its passage across the sky (Steiger).

Exekias and the Aegisthus Painter used the space and techniques available to covey a story, creating a center piece for conversation. In 550BCE the workshop of Exekias in Athens produced a terracotta, black figured amphora with scenes on both sides. The main side feature a scene from the legend of Theseus and the Minotaur.
The foundations of the modern world were laid by the civilizations of the Eastern hemisphere. Many things such as calendars, roads, and government were all the inventions and ideas of the ancient civilizations of the Eastern hemisphere. These things still have great impact on our daily lives and influence over move we make. The calendar that is used most often was invented by Pope Gregory during the Middle Ages (Doc. 4).
An author is able to describe his or her work’s protagonist through the use of several symbols in order to depict a hero and to allow for a greater analysis of a character. Through symbols, characters display multiple traits for the understanding of an audience. For instance, in an epic titled The Odyssey, Homer describes the tale of a hero who attempts to return to his homeland while encountering several dangers. These hindrances serve as symbols that represent several important aspects of epic poems. Thus, the symbols presented in The Odyssey reflect Greek virtues and Odysseus’s journey in addition to allowing for a deeper understanding of his character.

Astronomy plays an important role in these teachings as early humans heavily relied on the information provided by the moon and the stars to not only keep a calendar but also navigate on land and sea. By incorporating important key moments into songs and dances, these populations
