June 2009 - World History

<p>right that one. greeks mongols and a bunch of other ones. probably india
can’t imagine all those people in the other places</p>

<p>yeah i remember that question it asked where they all settled. i forgot what i put though…</p>

<p>i put india because it was centrally located compared to where a lot of the other countries were</p>

<p>The most advanced writing system was definitely Nahuatl. It was the language of the elite in Aztec society.</p>

<p>@keasbey
“The best documented and deciphered Mesoamerican writing system, and hence the most widely known, is the classic Maya script. Others include the Olmec, Zapotec, and Epi-Olmec systems. An extensive Mesoamerican literature has been conserved partly in indigenous scripts and partly in the postconquest transcriptions in the Latin script.
The other glyphic writing systems of Mesoamerica, and their usage, have been the subject of much debate. The ongoing discussion is whether or not non-Maya Mesoamerican writing systems can be considered examples of true written language or whether it is best understood as a pictographic convention used to express ideas, specifically religious ones, but not representing the phonetic reality of the language in which they might be read.”</p>

<p>which one was the scupltures of the saints?</p>

<p>oh and invention of gunpowder, compass, etc. (China)</p>

<p>yeah I don’t recall the sculptures question, but I do remember answer choices of Greek and Roman for something…</p>

<p>oh how about the one that said how buddha viewed himself. i put something like sacrifice and peace</p>

<p>@daniel
there was a sculpture of 4 stone people standing next to each other, and i think they had halo’s around their heads
sculptures were without color and they were very straight, however there was also one of them with long hair and another with a beard…which made me think it was medieval
roman and greek stuff has tons of motion in sculpture and egyptian stuff looks different
renaissance sculpture also usually not grey but bronze and so on so medieval seemed best</p>

<p>oh right!
that one
well no
i think that was not it. it said something liek sacrificing yourself for the sins of others which was the description of jesus
for buddha i put the thing about a person who spread truths, since he had the four noble truths</p>

<p>Fasting growing industry
service?</p>

<p>What did Chinese and Russian revolution have in common?
I forgot the choices…</p>

<p>buddha saw himself as…
a teacher</p>

<p>^i just put that they were helped by foreign wars</p>

<p>@lemonio, I don’t think I had that question. different version?</p>

<p>The test was like 5x as hard as AP. I think I got less than 7 MC wrong on actual AP. Here if I got less than 20 wrong I will be happy. Such random ass questions.</p>

<p>ah two more new ones
yes service i believe
and in common that they overthrew monarchies
for china you had qing dinasty for russia romanov dynasty</p>

<p>@choco chinese revolution unrelated to wars…kinda opium wars but it started a while after them and before world war II
plus the monarchies is definetly true…unless they say chinese were not monarch’s but emperors…</p>

<p>we’ve officially now have 71 questions!</p>

<p>for the city w/ silk, i put London [Immigrants</a> and the industries of … - Google Book Search](<a href=“Immigrants and the Industries of London, 1500-1700 - Liên Luu - Google Books”>Immigrants and the Industries of London, 1500-1700 - Liên Luu - Google Books)
its total is 4000, isnt that the same total that was on the test?</p>

<p>but the chinese communist party didn’t overthrow monarchy, that was the guomindang/nationalist party
however, lenin could overthrow the provisional govt. b/c people wanted out of WWI,
and maybe China w/ WWII? (nanjing)</p>

<p>silk has to be beijing, they said they weaved it there.</p>

<p>oh i remember the buddha question now! the answer i put mentioned something about suffering! thats why i put it.</p>

<p>for silk, i stand corrected.</p>

<p>wait, a sec, was the chinese/russia question: similiarities between reason behind rise of communism OR rise of revolutions?</p>

<p>well that question did not say communist revolutions
it said “the revolutions of russian and china” so the nationalist party and the provisional government can count as those revolutions</p>

<p>are you sure? i thought the questioned mentioned something about communism…</p>
