Consider the following list: • • • • • • • Hittites Aryans Mycenaeans Persians Romans Vikings Celts From studying the lessons in this unit, you are probably familiar with the Hittites, Aryans, and Mycenaeans. Did you know that they were just a few of the Indo-European groups that migrated out of North-Central Europe? The migration of Indo-Europeans had a great impact on world history. The IndoEuropeans traveled to new areas, conquered existing populations, and set up their own civilizations. For this project, you will examine the characteristics of the Indo-European groups that you learned about in this unit, your task is to see how the groups were similar and different. You will also discover the migration routes of some of the Indo-European groups. OBJECTIVES ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Compare and contrast two different Indo-European groups. Create a migration map to determine routes of civilizations. Create a Venn diagram. Build a conclusion from the research. VOCABULARY Eurasia the combined lands of Europe and Asia Indo-Europeans people who lived in north-central Europe and migrated across Eurasia arou migration movement from one place to another Vocab Arcade The first civilizations were often vulnerable to the influence of migrating groups. The Indo-Europeans were a people who probably lived in North-Central Europe thousands of years ago. They likely lived a nomadic, pastoral lifestyle; this means that the IndoEuropeans were herders who raised livestock and moved from place to place in search of new pastures. Their migrations brought them to areas all across Eurasia. Their search for new pastures brought the Indo-Europeans in contact with the people of other civilizations. As the Indo-Europeans formed their own civilizations, the influences of the people that they conquered persisted within the new culture. Some of the Indo-European invaders included the Hittites, Aryans, and Mycenaean Greeks. Study the chart below to review the characteristics of these three groups. The Hittites conquered the The Hittites, people of Asia Minor and 1600–1200 B.C. Mesopotamia. The Aryans, 1500–500 B.C. The Aryan invasion led to the decline of the Indus Valley civilization. They created their own civilization along the Ganges River in India. The Mycenaeans conquered the The Greek mainland. Their invasion Mycenaeans, led to the decline of the Minoan 1400–1200 B.C. civilization on the Mediterranean island of Crete. The Hittites are known for the development of iron technology and for their involvement in the first recorded peace treaty in history. The Aryans are known for their religious beliefs; their prayers and rituals comprise the books of the Vedas, which serve as the main religious texts of Hinduism. The Mycenaeans are known for their involvement in the Trojan War, a war that would be the focus of the epic poem The Iliad, by Homer. When the Indo-Europeans migrated to new areas, they brought their language with them. As they settled down, their original language evolved into several new languages. These languages are all related and make up the Indo-European languages. Directions Think about the similarities and differences among the Indo-European groups. It may be helpful to review the lessons on the Indo-European invaders. Think about the following questions: • • • • • • Where did each group originate? What language, if any, did the ancestors of each Indo-European group share at one point? Where did each Indo-European group settle? Who did each Indo-European group conquer? Were any groups involved in trade? What qualities are unique to each Indo-European group? This assignment has three parts: 1. Select two of the three Indo-European groups, and create a Venn diagram to illustrate how the two groups were similar and how they were different. Here is an outline of a Venn diagram to use as a reference as you design your own. 2. Research the migration patterns of the two civilizations you chose. Use a blank map of the world to chart the migration of the two civilizations. o Title your map. Label the continents and oceans, provide a legend (arrows), and a compass rose. o o o Mark the migration patterns of the two civilizations using two different colors. Draw arrows to show where the civilizations came from and the direction they took to get to their final destinations. Label the areas in which they settled and include an approximate distance they traveled in miles. Write the years in which the migrations took place. Label the final destination of the civilizations. Research whether they conquered the inhabitants or coexisted with or adapted to others. 3. Below your Venn diagram, write a detailed explanation of what you learned. Your paragraph(s) should reflect what the research taught you. Be sure to present the information in your own words. Examining the map you created and the data that you found, what conclusions can you draw? Incorporate information from the map in your answer. Be sure to cite your sources on a separate page. Your response should include the following information: o Origin of each group o Conquered groups (if any) o Languages developed o Settlement locations o Migration routes
