DeleteThis is Selena. I thought it was interesting how most of the art was based on Christ and christian saints and how they were put in churches to help them worship. Also because people couldn't read how the art told the story for them.
DeleteI think that it was really cool that the archaeological studies that are happening now are finds out what they did and what they ate. Also it was fascinating that they started producing the bible with printing companies.
ReplyDelete- Ryan Scherrer
I have to agree with that but i wonder what they used for paper back then.
Deletei think they just used paper not a very advanced one but its still paper... or they used animal skins. but they also might have used papyrus from egypt.
Deletethis is Ila.. I thought it was crazy how the nuns and monks went to church 8 times a day and the first time was at 2 in the morning i also thought it was cool that the type of hat you wore was a way to show your class....Ryan I also thought it was cool that the archaeologists found out about their lives from the garbage pits.
ReplyDeleteHi, this is Jaida and I thought that the windows in the houses were a large architectural achievement during The Middle Ages. Although the houses themselves were made of poor construction, the windows were wisely thought out by builders in order to give tenants a view of the outside world without impeding the tenants privacy . Builders small cut holes in the walls in order to allow minimal amounts of light into the house, shutters or pieces of wood covered the windows at night or when the weather was unpleasant.
ReplyDeleteAnd Ila... I agree with you it would be crazy to go to church 8 times a day! I would be so bored! Haha
i definitely agree with you and Ila both!! it would be incredibly boring!!! but how would i know i haven't even been to church once... so don't listen to me haha :)
DeleteThis is Caleb. I thought it was really cool that they thought about health in terms of elements, body fluids, and how there had to be a balance between them. Fire was for bile and choler, water for snot, earth for black bile, and air for blood. This system reminded me of the Chinese medicinal system. Ila, I also thought it was crazy how many times a day monks prayed and how devoted they were to Christianity.
ReplyDeleteWell since I dont go to church I don't have to bother with it
Deletebut it is definitly crazy 2:00 in the morning not on my watch so ya also I would probebly get soooooo bored at church I would cry of sleep deprovation and bordom
Ben sighning of *Bloop* cracle buzz oh by the way the bloop cracle buzz is a joke about radios so byeeee
so you go to church before you go to bed?
Deletelol
This is lakota and I think it is interesting that there was only the one christian church. Because now there is many branches of Christianity and that the church had its own laws. Jaida i agree with what you said about architect (that would be very cold with no glass panes?!)
ReplyDeletethis is Natalie... I thought it was incredibly interesting that they had the woman doing both cooking, cleaning, chores and all of the cool warrior and hunting stuff. I also thought it was kinda cool how they could tell the order by the colors and style of clothing they wore. I would never be able to live in an environment like they did; cold, dark, and damp... that must have sucked!
ReplyDeleteThis is Selena. I agree with Natalie I wouldn't be able to live in a place cold damp and dark it really would have sucked.!!! Also I thought it was cool how the women did the hunting stuff.
Deletethe way the beds were don was kinda cool oh wait difrent documentry about the medevil people:|
ReplyDelete:| ment :|
ReplyDeletehey this is william. I think it is interesting and sad that normal townsfolk couldn't have the aid of some medical expert who lived in the courts and castles. The medical experts often prescribed remedies that would actually kill the patient with and herb!! And Caleb i also agree with how you like how the people thought about elements in terms of medical health and wellness.
ReplyDeleteits funny that they had such bad health care, seeing as they have the one of the best health care in the world
Delete:| ment darn
ReplyDeleteWaz up itz eli. I think that its wrong that the wealthy mainly had the medical treatments. I think that all people should have aid.
ReplyDeleteAnd william I think that they would kill the patient is so wrong
well I think I know alot more than the website because it dosent say any thinthat I can see about the jail system
ReplyDeletethinthat means thing that
ReplyDeletego to this for my blog http://7thgraderavensbensblogofawsomeness.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI think that the fact that olive oil and wine came from that long ago is rely cool. I also think that the people back then decided to take over is rely cool and how they started to make shops with fine clothing and all is supper cool. I always thought what are worled whould be like if during the time of kingdoms they had cars, self phones, planes, elavators and computers. I wonder what are worled now wouled be like.?
ReplyDeleteI thought it was quite comical that they thought disease was spread through bad odor. and chuck norris approves of this comment
ReplyDeleteHi this is Gianna, and I thought that it was cool that after the year 1000, a new age of peace and prosperity "grew", making Europe a cool place to be in the Middle Ages.
ReplyDelete*And yes Natalie, that was very interesting that the women did practicaly everything! I like that women could have jobs such as Apothecaries (yay!), Black Smiths, etc. Coolio narwhales! :)
Hello it's Alex, and i found it very interesting that the masons were above everybody else in the merchant class and that they were the ones to build very important buildings. Originally i believed that the masons only did statues and that they were treated very poorly. I am glad i found this fact :)
ReplyDelete*And yes lakota i did also find it very odd that there would only be one christian church.
Hello, it's Rane as Ethan made clear this morning! I thought that it was kind of weird that 2 people had to play the same instrument!
ReplyDeleteIla! I agree! i could never imagine going to church 8 times a day!
Hi its Elani, I find it really cray,cray (haha) that the way you dressed back then mad such a significant remark (like an inch off your coat would determine which class you are.
ReplyDeleteIla! That's crazy! I would never be able to drag myself out of bed at 2:00 AM to go to church!
Hey Ben speaking, I think that having an two people playing the same instrament is good because two is better than three right. well if you mess up you can blame it on the other person like "well he did not crank the handle in the correct way" or "he kicked me" so if there was three people think of the shouts were the organ is playing. Also I want to learn about Jonah and the whale and Danial in the loin's den because they sound cool> also the costumes must have looked ridiculas compared to our ones but they must have bin state of the art.
ReplyDeleteBen sighning off *Bloop* buzz cracle
Its Sara! Sorrry i'm late on assignment. :( I thought it was really odd that medieval Europe didn't have any health care system, what would you do if you broke your leg? And i'm suprised that they had such poor housing, it said that their houses were cold, damp, and dark. And Elani I found it craycray that just by and inch off your coat they determined what class you're in too! hahaha I used the word craycray I told you I would!!
ReplyDeleteyo its jared i found all of the alternate names intresting like how the peasants were called surfs or villeians or how land grants were called fiefs i also found the whole element thing intresting to
ReplyDeleteHey it's Lily. Blogger isn't working on my account so Caleb kindly let me use his. I found it interesting that music played an important in daily church services. Monks and priests would chant hymns while church bells or organs played. There was also an instrument called a hurdy-gurdy that was played by two people, one wound a crank and the other would play the strings. If you go on wiki you can see a picture. Sara, I agree with your comment about healthcare since my mom has a broken leg I can't imagine what would happen to her during those times.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to check out some sweet hurry-gurdy-ing copy this link into your browser. Click on the picture of the musician. Enjoy!

I found it interesting that they thought that disease and illness was spread from bad odors, they also thought that ravens could 'scare' away disease, that is why the plague doctors would wear a ravens mask, inside the mask there would be sweat smelling herbs.
ReplyDeletethey also wore full body robes, which would keep fleas away from the doctor. but they didn't know that.
hey eathan are you on
ReplyDeleteThis is Colin and i found it interesting that the castle kitchens were so large and advanced. I read that some of the ovens could cook entire cows at a time!! That's a big oven!! Elani, I agree that is very interesting about how small features are used to determine your class
ReplyDeletewe should continue this!!!
ReplyDeletewe miss you Ethan
ReplyDeleteGuys.... This is so weird.... I miss everyone so much.
ReplyDeletehmm
