The cool breeze ows like a river through the

endless maze of trees, a gentle stream cuts the maze in half, separating the two sides. Above, a hot sun beats down on a mother deer and her young as they glide through the maze without leaving a trace behind. Birds bob up and down from the dark lush soil to the tree tops. The soil provides the trees enough nutrients to make them ourish to life and dance in the wind. The redwoods grow up far higher than my head, branching out in every which way. The thick stumps, sturdy, anchor the giants in their places. Dead in the center of the forest, the biggest of the giants lies at on his back, a deep hole is carved out well lit by torches, it is the home of the Cypriots.

Part I - Analysis of the Problem

The rst step in building a successful civilization is to secure basic human needs such as food and water. Due to its civilization geography, the major chal4

lenges the civilization of Cpr"#$ faces in achieving a basic food and water supply include the following: When it comes to food, Cpr"#$ has plenty; there are many big animals and plenty of berries to

gather. Crops on the other hand are a challenge, the tough soil makes farming hard to manage, little space between trees makes growing a large quantity of crops close to impossible. Farming is an important part of the of a stable food supply because it is essential to our survival. We may oversh, hunt, or gather and have little food, without food Cpr"#$, will crumble and our civilization will starve. 2. Water is also plentiful in Cpr"#$, although the main troubles are cleaning the water and living through dry seasons. In the winter, the streams and the the rainfall will be very high but during the summer we will have a lot trouble conserving such a small water supply. If our society runs out of usable water we will become very thirsty with out enough water for crops or everyday living. Without a sufcient water supply we will die of thirst.

Part II- Proposed Solutions

Modication means a change a person can make on their environment in order to thrive. An example of modication is when the Mesopotamians created levees and dams in order to use the water to grow crops. This is important because if a civilization cant modify their environment, they will be sure to die out.

Solution -- Water Solution -- Food

1. In Cpr"#$ food is plentiful, the trouble is hunting and gathering. Cpr#s is made of mostly gatherers, hunters, and shers but we still have to grow crops. In order to overcome low space for growing crops, we built terraces and cut down trees. Then we dug trenches to lead the the water to the crops as Frey states Sumerian farmers began to create irrigation systems to provide water for their elds (Frey 36). To catch sh, we made rods and traps out of reeds, sticks, and logs, it was helpful to catch sh so we didnt have to rely on only gathering and farming for food. There are many natural food sources in Cpr"#$ such as berries, roots, and many large animals. 2. As stated in Part I, its important to create a stable water supply. In order to achieve this in our environment we did many things. Firstly, we damned the river during the dry season so we could control the amount of water we used much easier. as Frey mentioned of the Sumerians They also constructed dams along the river to block the water and force it to collect in pools they had built. (36) Our civilization also used tightly weaved baskets to catch the rain water, which we placed on the top of the trees branches just as people from the Arabs from the coastal plains had (Frey 78). Once we have the water, we have to lter it before it can be drinkable. We could cut down branches and make a re to boil the water. This method is inefcient for large quantities of water but we can adapt later on.

Part I- Lessons on Democracy

! Important lessons that should be learned about a

Direct Democracy. But other city states like Sparta were just as successful with the use of government like Oligarchy. The had a system called the Council of Elders to make decisions for the civilization, I suppose you

successful government are described in the following: Athenian Government was successful with the use of

could call it a hybrid of Oligarchy and Democracy. One important lesson to learn from this is that there are different forms of successful government, and not only one can work. Democracies and Oligarchies still are current uses of government. The U.S.A. is very successful country and they use Democracy. The United States is a successful example of a representative democracy, in some cases like the presidential election, a direct democracy. A successful civilization should distribute power of the government so all people are happy. A successful government should have MANY leaders so that one person doesnt have too much power over the people. A government where one person rules is a Monarchy. This can be learned because of the Conict of Orders, a conict in Rome. The was when the Plebeians, who were poor, were unhappy so they moved out of Rome and

camped on a hill. They had to come to an agreement with the Patricians, the richer class, to come back to Rome. This was because if someone were to attack Rome, they would be completely defenseless. This was settled because the Patricians gave the Plebeians more rights, and they wrote down the laws down in the middle of the community on The Twelve Tables The lesson to be learned from this is that there should be a group of strong leaders that can veto each other and do the best thing for the people This is because if one of the leaders in high power can make a mistake or a selsh law, the others can veto and tell the leader no. This is important because if there is no one to stop the law, the people can become unhappy and easily overthrow (Conict of Orders). It is the rst priority to have the people happy because happy people make a successful civilization.

Sparta:
The Spartan city-state was a very successful civilization. Their government was an Oligarchy, and the people that made the laws were the Council of Elders. The Council of Elders was a group of 28 elders and 2 kings that made decisions in Sparta. Frey states that The Council of Elders held the real power in Sparta. It made the laws for the Assembly to vote on. (Frey 265) The two kings ruled the civilization, but the 28 elders could limit their power and selsh desires. A lesson to be learned from this is that in order to be successful you should have people that can limit or veto the requests and power of the leaders. This way the power is equally spread throughout the people and not in the hands of one corrupt leader. The lesson to be learned is that no civilization should have a selsh leader. In order to prevent this you need other consultants of high rank to veto the

selsh or unfair ideas made by the leader. Many Eutritian Kings in the past had been very unfair and had ruined the voice of the people.

Athens:
The Athenian government was the rst well known form of democracy. Everyone Athenian citizen could vote on what they thought was best. An Athenian assembly (or Council of 500), made up of over 6000 representing Athenians would meet and discuss what was best for Athens. Everyone could speak and everyone had a voice. Frey mentioned this on page 261 when he said, At least 6,000 citizens had to be present for a meeting to take place. If not enough people showed up, slaves would round up more citizens with ropes dipped in red pain. People in Greek city states considered Athens to be one of the best because everyone could vote. Similar to the way people think America today. The people in Athens

were satised with the form of government used. Athens democracy was very successful and is well known. A lesson to learn from Athenian government is that when everyone has the right to vote, they must be knowledgeable, so you give them information and people give speeches about what they think is right and wrong. This is important because people can be persuaded and take sides based on false information.

a good ruler following a bad one. when rome collapsed there was no good rulers following the bad ones so rome just kept getting worse and worse and eventually could not keep thriving so they collapsed. They collapsed because of religious reasons, decadence, debt, and problems with the military. It fell approximately 476 A.D. Lessons that should be learned from the roman empire is that in order to have a long lasting empire, you have to have happy people and plans for the future.

Rome:
The Roman empire was the longest lasting empire in the history of time. They thrived because most people were happy. Most parts of Rome were rich. It was a very nice place to live because of the architecture and irrigation systems that were highly advanced. Rome was always looking forward when it came to architecture. They had a very strange mix of a democracy and a republic. In Rome there was many bad rulers but always

Part II - Code of Law

The major threats to our civilization include the following. People rebelling because they do not approve of the laws. But not only are the citizens threats to Cypruss but they are also the backbone. Without the farmers, merchants, slaves, and so much more Cypruss wouldnt exist, thats why we need to %our people from rivalling clans and starvation. We need to protect our people, and thats whprotectere laws come into play. Laws are important for many reasons, but in Cyprus our main goal with order is to keep people safe. If the entire city is in turmoil people could get hurt and no one could get anything done.

1. No challenging laws that have been agreed on by 90% of the people. Anybody who does will be evicted from the civilization 2. All laws will be discussed and debated before becoming legal. 3. if a man breaks a law depending on the crime he will be either put in prison or charged a ne. Once imprisoned, trial will take place to decide fate. 4. right for men and woman No meetings held after 10:30 to prevent rebellion, (unless approved by the senate) 5. Men and Women share equal rights 6. A citizen is considered a citizen when they gain a steady job and are over the age of 18

The laws listed above will help create a successful civilization because they prevent people for making bad decisions and rebelling against the civilization. This is the same with Hammurabis code because the people were kept in line by the laws. They would not break laws because of the dangerous consequences like banishment and slavery. It is similar to the twelve tables because the rules are all going to be well known and they will be written down. There will be no confusion between the laws.
