Huge Gladiator school Found Buried in Austria

  This article speaks about a huge gladiator school which was found buried in Vienna, Austria. Archeologists say that the size of the school is huge, and that it is almost the size of the Colosseum. Archeologists say that it is definitely the hugest artifact that they ever found in their carriers. Some even say that it is important, but the reason for them saying that is still unknown.
   The theories say that the school might have a connection with the blockbuster The Gladiator.  Next to the school, was the building where they kept the animals for gladiator battles. The school was used sometimes as a arena for battles. The whole complex altogether was 19.000 square meters, which is the size of nearly two Usce's.
  What I found very interesting, is that a complex that big could fit in the ground.

How do historians learn about the past?

  Historians have to follow certain steps in order to make a successful archeological dig, they need to follow certain steps. First they need to gather as much sources as they can, equal lot of primary ( most important) and secondary ( less important) sources. Then, they need to categorize the sources into written and non- written. Written sources are sources on which something is written on, and non written are sources which show you important things visually. Thirdly, they evaluate their sources, they question the source by finding out what it is, who left the artifact where it was found, where was it from, when was this artifact found, How did it come there. After that, the historians Interpret their information by taking notes on what they found out, and they observe how the artifact is changing from time to time. Lastly, a group of historians who worked on this site, gather together and share what they found while digging down or what theories they came up with about a certain artifact. 

Where did humans tend to settle and why?

   People were very careful where they settle in ancient times. They needed to be careful because they had to grow crops and to plant things which are necessary if you want to survive. So, people enjoyed more places where the climate is acceptable for agriculture and for a satisfactory life. The climate which is the best for agriculture  is not too hot, because the plants would dehydrate of the heat, but not too cold because cold weather can affect plants or animals badly. Another thing which they look for is the topography ideal for whatever type of cattle of plants the humans want to take care of. Topography is the region of a place, so it might be mountainous, which is not so ideal for some living things.
  The most acceptable landscapes the farmers would like is meadows with some forest and places for the cattle to eat, and for the plants to grow. This is ideal because it's easy to settle, there are no factories or cars close by, or there is no urban night life which can disturb the family when they are asleep. When the area is next to a city, there is a lot of air pollution, which can make the animals sick. Also, if there is a lake or water next to it, the animals can get poisoned or get a stomach virus. Also, the plants and crops can die if the owners give them to drink the water from that body of water. Also, if people have a sickness, the air is fresher in the countryside than in urban areas. It can help if you have asthma or lung cancer.

In the map above, the green part is the best for farmers with animals and crops, because there are many meadows and the air is fresh because it is far away from the urban areas. 

What is history and why do we study it

  The answer to this question I will give you in this blog post. To find the answer to this question, you don't need to research much, you just need to use your  brain and think.
    Well, history is learning about the past, about civilizations, events, people,wars etc. It is important to learn about history to learn how things have changed from then to now. For example, did the clothing change over time. Or, did the cities get bigger, and did the architecture improve over time. We need to know when something historical happened, for example when did the World War 1 start, or when was the Berlin wall destroyed. Some parts of history are good, for example the freedom of slaves On the other side there are bad things that happened in history, for example, the civil war. Also, we need to " meet" someone who did something big in his lifetime. Some examples of these people are Abraham Lincoln, Hitler and Columbus.

We are not makers of history. We are made by history.
