  • Look Back Through the Millennia and You'll Find Women in Power Even in Humanity's Earliest Days. Here's a Look at Seven Po
    LHOSSINE/CREATIVE COMMONS NATIONAL PALACE MUSEUM / PUBLIC DOMAIN CREATIVE COMMONS GUSTAVO JERONIMO/CREATIVE COMMONS GEVORK NAZARYAN/CREATIVE COMMONS INDIA POST Look back through the millennia and you’ll find women Women in power even in humanity’s earliest days. Here’s a look at seven powerful queens and in their accomplishments. PUBLIC DOMAIN History WOMEN IN HISTORY | AFRICAN LEGEND Dihya, Berber Warrior Queen Dihya was born into the Jarawa Zenata tribe in the 7th century and eventually ruled a free Berber state in north Africa that stretched from the Aures Mountains to the oasis of Gadames. She is usually described as very tall with a lot of hair, which may mean she wore her hair long and in dread- locks. The Ancient History Encyclopedia says she was a black, African queen who dressed as royals of ancient Numidia in a loose tunic or robe, sometimes belted, with sandals. FIGHTING THE ARABS Dihya was also referred to in Arabic sources as al Kahina, meaning the soothsayer, because of her alleged ability to foresee the future. She fought off the armies of the Umayyad Dynasty, led by Hasan bin al-Nu’man, who marched from Egypt and met her near Meskiana in 698 (modern day Algeria). It’s said she beat him so badly that he fled to Libya for five years. However, Hasan eventually returned and, helped by a captured officer, defeated Dihya near Tabarka in modern Tunisia near the Algerian border. History dis- agrees on whether she died a warrior’s death in battle or took poison to prevent capture, but it likely occurred in the late 690s or early 700s.

  • The Byzantine Empire
    The Byzantine Empire Section 1: Introduction In this lesson, you will learn about the Byzantine Empire. This great empire lay in two continents, Europe and Asia. It lasted from about 500 to 1453 C.E., when it was conquered by the Ottoman Turks . At first, the Byzantine Empire was the continuation of the Roman Empire in the east. In 330 C.E., the Roman emperor Constantine moved his capital from Rome to the city of Byzantium. This city was an old Greek trading colony on the eastern edge of Europe. Constantine called his capital New Rome, but it soon became known as Constantinople, which is Greek for “Constantine’s City.” Later, control of the huge original empire was divided between two emperors—one based in Rome and one based in Constantinople. After the fall of Rome, the eastern empire continued for another 1,000 years. We call this the Byzantine Empire, after Byzantium, the original name of its capital city. East and west remained connected for a time through a shared Christian faith. But the Church in the east developed in its own unique ways. It became known as the Eastern Orthodox Church. Over time, Byzantine emperors and Church officials came into conflict with the pope in Rome. The conflict eventually led to a permanent split between the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. In this lesson, you will learn about the Byzantine Empire, one of its greatest emperors, and its distinctive church. Let’s begin by exploring the empire’s capital—the fabulous city of Constantinople. Themes Cultural Interaction The Eastern Orthodox Church played a central role in daily life in the Byzantine Empire and inspired distinctive and magnificent art and architecture.

  • India, China, and Byzantium
    c H A p T E R 9 India, China, and Byzantium Lin Cheng yawned and pushed aside the report he had been writing. Noticing that the room was filled with a soft glow, he looked out the window. A full moon lit up the canal below. Barges filled with rice floated by on their way to Beijing. It had been a good harvest, and the peasants were singing as they poled their barges through the water. Tonight, Lin Cheng felt like a father to these strong, hard- working people. He had been their governor for 20 years. And thanks to the policies of the emperor, he had been a just one. Lin Cheng thought how lucky he had been. He no longer minded that his older brother had inherited the family property. He, Lin Cheng, had been the clever one. He had scored high on the civil service examination. Now, instead of acting as the manager of his brother's estate, he ruled a whole province. What if he had been born under the previous line of emperors? Under the Sui, he would have had no opportunity for advancement. Would he have grown resentful of his brother's arrogance? Would he have escaped to this very province? Instead of bringing peace and plenty to its people, would he have urged them to rebel against their rulers? Lin Cheng felt his pulse quicken a little. These contrasting fates would make a good poem. He turned back to his writing table and dipped his brush in the ink. 157 U s empires grew larger and more complex, their rulers tried Ei! many methods of governing.

You will be going to Chang’an (X’ian) the capital city of the Tang Dynasty in China with your father. The purpose of the visit is that your father, Yu Lushan has been invited by the Tang imperial court to discuss the purchase of some horses from the Ferghana Valley, which are prized by the Tang military. Your father has invited you so that you might show your skill to the envoys of the Tang and demonstrate the strength of your horses. Your group will be taking a common route on the Silk Road headed east to China. First you will travel by horseback to Samarkand to visit with family you have there. Your group will then travel to Kashgar for supplies and to join a camel caravan in an effort to not exhaust your horses with riders and supplies as you cross the Taklamakan Desert. Your caravan stops in Dunhuang in the Gobi Desert to resupply and rest, while there you visit the Mogao Caves. While in Dunhuang, you visit with a colony of fellow Sogdians living there, which was one of your group’s purposes in taking this route - your group spends a few days socializing with them and learning about their experiences in this area. Finally you depart for your final destination of Chang’an (X’ian) to meet with envoys of the Tang Imperial Court, show your skills, and hopefully make a profitable trade on your horses.
