AMNH paper

Throughout history people have trade goods one to each other  this method was done by modals canoes. The modal canoes comes from the ancient Mediterranean. The boot modal have been discovery throughout specially from ancient Greece, Egypt and Phoenicia.



when the hunting people or the ones that used to trades in this boat, they used to tell each other stories of their life and just like that they used to pass on information to their tribe.however everyone had their own experience. Also they used to trade many things and that's how they used to trade many things like food, metals to other culture as well. Also, they fish etc.the most common materials used for ship modals are, wood,plastic,metals and paper. Most of this modals canoes they used to bring merchandise from other places, but now they don't used canoes because they have more modern boats.




background history



"ancient ship and boat models have been discovered throughout the Mediterranean, especially from ancient Greece, Egypt, and Phoenicia. These models provide archaeologists with valuable information regarding seafaring technology and the sociological and economic importance of seafaring. In spite of how helpful ancient boat and ship models are to archaeologists, they are not always easily or correctly interpreted due to artists’ mistakes, ambiguity in the model design, and wear and tear over the centuries."
"In the Ancient world, ships “were among the most technologically complex mechanisms of the ancient world.”[2] Ships made far-flung travel and trade more comfortable and economical, and they added a whole new facet to warfare. Thus, ships carried a great deal of significance to the people of the ancient world, and this is expressed partly through the creation of boat and ship models. Ancient boat and ship models are made of a variety of materials and are intended for different purposes. The most common purposes for boat and ship models include burial votives, house hold articles, art, and toys. While archaeologists have found ship and boat models from societies all around the Mediterranean, the three of the most prolific ship model building cultures were the Greeks, Phoenicians, and Egyptians."
i choose this modal canoes because it show the different ways time have change in life. Also is interesting how people share their stories while they travel to different places. The modal canoes also help many go around the world.


this picture shows how people used to go and haunt or fish in their canoes and then establish in one places and then make their meals and that's how they live their life.

The peace of art that I pick is the Knife is at Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.


































According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's this knife Timeline of Art History(http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/49.136.9), this knife was found in non-Chinese. I like this knife because it reminds me when i use to live in my country. In other words we had similar knife just like this. However this knife is very old and is now a peace of art and only in the metropolitan museum of Arts has it. in the Artical it says "The handle and blade of this knife are cast as a single piece, topped by a ram's head with powerful curving horns"
