Morgan:
I, honestly, didn't really enjoy this game. It was informative, but it was way too long. And, all I was able to do is press buttons. So, it was kind of lame.
I did learn alot though. I forgot what i learned. About the artifacts and what not.
Mariah:
this game was kinda.......long but it was very informative. i dont really kno what Mohenjo-Daro is. But it was cool to uncover those artifacts. Maybe that place was fake and they made it up.
If they did make it up they did a good job because they had a lot of information o n that city. I probably wouldn't play it again only because it was soo long!!.

history 101
Motion pictures were developed scientifically long before their artistic or commercial possibilities were realized and explored. One of the earliest scientific advances leading directly to the development of motion pictures was the publication of a paper by the English scholar Peter Mark Roget in 1824, enunciating the principle of “The Persistence of Vision with Regard to Moving Objects.” It established that the human eye retains an image for a fraction of a second longer than the image is actually present. Roget's paper inspired scientists to invent various ways to demonstrate the principle.

Mariah's Birthday in history
On March 14, 1879, Albert Einstein is born, the son of a Jewish electrical engineer in Ulm, Germany. Einstein's theories of special and general relativity drastically altered man's view of the universe, and his work in particle and energy theory helped make possible quantum mechanics and, ultimately, the atomic bomb.
ooooh BLAH!!!
This day in history
On this day in 1911, a dispatcher in the New York Times office sends the first telegram around the world via commercial service. Exactly 66 years later, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sends a different kind of message--a phonograph record containing information about Earth for extraterrestrial beings--shooting into space aboard the unmanned spacecraft Voyager II.
