Final topic 5 module

I want to tell you about ancient cities (Pompeii and Machu Picchu), ancient nations (Ancient Egyptians, Ancient Phoenicians and Native Americans), historical and mythological figures (Catherine the Great and Merlin the Magician) and culture in the 1960s. 
1) Pompeii was an ancient city in Italy which was destroyed in 79 AD by Mt Vesuvius eruption. Before it was destroyed it was a busy and rich city with a forum, marketplace, public baths, theaters, restaurants and even a hotel and running water in many buildings.
Machu Picchu is an ancient Inca city in the Andes Mountains in Peru. It dates back to 1436. People who lived there were great builders, astronomers and farmers. The city had houses, storage rooms, tall tower and emperor’s palace. Nobody knows why people left this city. 
2) Ancient Egyptians lived on the banks of the River Nile in Africa and had a great civilization. They built houses and pyramids from stone, were great farmers and artists, had boats and transported food and other goods along the river.
The ancient Phoenicians had great civilization that lasted over 1000 years. They were great shipbuilders, sailors, and traders who sold wood, glass and purple-colored dye to Greeks and Romans. They were the first civilization of the world to use alphabet.
When the Europeans arrived to America many different native tribes already lived there, for example Kwakiutl and Navajo. These people were good hunters, fishermen and farmers. They respected the environment and  their ways of life can still teach a lot to the modern world.
3) Catherine the Greta was born in Prussia. When she was 15 she went to Russia and married the Grand Duke Peter who later became Peter III. Then she became the sole ruler of Russia and made it one of the great powers of Europe. She improved the country’s education system, developed arts and sciences.
Merlin is one of the most fascinating figures in British mythology. He was a wizard, poet, teacher and advisor to kings. Ancient myths describe him as being half human and say he could turn into a bird or cloud. He was the guardian and teacher of the King Arthur and helped him to become a King of Britain by pulling the magic sword Excalibur out of the stone when noboby else could do that.
4) Music was very important to teenagers in the 60s. They listened to The Beatles and The Rolling Stones on the radio and danced a lot. The fashion fads were cheap and colorful. Teenagers made their own clothes. Many people were shocked when long hair became fashionable for boys. Most people had a television at home and could watch different films and shows. In 1969 families all over the UK watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon. 

Native Americans

When the Europeans arrived on the continent many different native tribes already lived there. These people respected the environment and their ways of life can still teach a lot to the modern world. The Kwakiutl were fishermen. Seven families could live in one house. They had canoes for fishing, hunting and trading. They used animal skin and even wood to make their winter clothes. The Navajo were farmers and grew crops. They lived in houses made of earth and wood. The women farmed, looked after the children and did the housework. The men hunted and protected the tribe. At first, The Cheyenne lived like the Navajo. When the Europeans brought horses to America, they left their farms and moved from place to place. The men hunted buffalo. The women built their houses using buffalo skin.
