Chapter 6 Documents + Packet

Evidence Handout

The handout that we received was very interesting. I literally didn't know about the "kelp highway" that  it talked about. It was really interesting to think and visualize about how there was sea level areas of fish, shellfish, and seaweed from the Americas to Asia. The people who migrated were available to hunt and gather food and the packet says that this helped other adapt to coastal lives and hunt for new food sources-such as shellfish.


Chapter 6 Documents

I took me awhile to understand the readings in the chapter 6 documents. The peoples' form of writing is definitely getting more complex and heavily detailed then the documents in previous chapters before. I want to focus on Rufinus's story because it was something that I believe was a very important story since it explains how Christianity came to Axum. I really like Frumentius in this story, I believe he is that role model for others since he has so much faith in his religion and others. He is a good leader and well organized. I feel like he expressed the "treat others as you would like to be treated" expression. Since this story is not strong primary sources, since Rufinus admits that these facts are from what he heard from Aedesius.
