Dear Traveler,
This is what you need to know to fit in the middle ages.First of all you need to know they dont have all the technology that we have today like cars, computers, and TV so you wont ask dumb questions. Second you need to make sure that you have the right tools if you were a knight like a sword and a sheild because they didnt have any guns back then. Other things you might need to know are to show respect to upper class or the lords you might have, and to follow the code of conduct of chilvalry. Thats what you need to know if you time travel back to the mideval times.

What were Cleopatra's goals for Egypt?She wanted to win back lands that Egypt had once held in Syria and Palestine. Why did Cleopatra seek help from Julius Caesar? Because Rome was the storngestpower in the Mediterranean. What happened to Antony and Cleopatra after they won their war with Rome? Antony heard a rumor that Cleopatra was dead but it wasnt true, so he stabbed himself so then Cleopatra found out that Antony was dead so she killed herself.

Olympic Games

Olympic games were VERY diffrent from our sports and/or games now in 2009! Winning atheletes put there hometownsup on the top rank. But now I'm going to talk to you about a couple of diffrent sports back then that you think you know but when you read this you will think diffrently.

Wrestling and Track

Like in Wrestling back then you would need to throw your opponent down at least three times to win the match. Breaking peoples fingers was allowed back then not like in 2009. In running (track) there were four kinds of racing where runners sprinted for one stade (192 m). Or you could race the four stade (384m-768m) and while they all raced they had to wear armor up to 50-60 pounds!!!!!!!

WOW that's ALOT!!!!!!! and now in our time we run up to a mile, throw things, or jump over the hurtles. There was alot of things diffrent from our time back then but I picked sports!!!!!!

About History Sports

The games at Olympia were greatly expanded from a one-day festival of athletics and wrestling to, in 472 BC, five days with many events. The order of the events is not precisely known, but the first day of the festival was devoted to sacrifices. On the Middle Day of the festival 100 oxen were sacrificed in honor of a God. Athletes also often prayed and made small sacrifices themselves..The games at Olympia were greatly expanded from a one-day festival of athletics and wrestling to, in 472 BC, five days with many events.
