COMMENT I THINK THE PLAGUE KILLED MANY

PEOPLE SO AT THE TIME THERE WAS NOT MUCH
TECHNOLOGY AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A
PRECISE CURE OR VACCINE

THE ERUPTION OF
MOUNT
The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the year

79 was one of the most famous and deadly

volcanic eruptions in the history of Europe,

which was witnessed and documented by

Pliny the Younger in various studies and

archaeological finds on October 24

This catastrophe reached the cities of

Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabiae, which

were buried by several layers of volcanic ash

and would not be excavated until the 18th

century.

the comment It was a very strong eruption for which many people died and
very few were able to leave the city. It was witnessed in two different
ways.
 HURRICANE KATRINA

atlantic occurred in the united states

THE INDIAN OCEAN EARTHQUAKE

AND TSUNAMI
On december 26, 2004 an underground area off
the west coast of sumatra was hit with a
magnitude 9.3 earthquake. With this magnitude, it
is the second largest earthquake recorded since the
existence of the seismograph (approximately
1875), after the 1960 earthquake in Valdivia
(Chile). It was also reported to have the second
longest observed duration of geological faults,
lasting between 500 and 600 s (8.3 to 10 min) and
created a huge tsunami that took lives from 14
different countries in some parts like in Indonesia
the waves reached up to 30 meters high
comment for this earthquake more
tsunamis were formed there were many
people who died in different parts also
caused great destruction and many
homeless people
covid-19 pandemic
Coronavirus is a group of viruses
that cause illnesses ranging from
the common cold to more serious
illnesses such as pneumonia, Middle
East respiratory syndrome (MERS),
and severe acute respiratory
syndrome (SARS). It should be
noted that the strain of coronavirus
(2019-nCoV) that has caused the
outbreak in China is new and was
not previously known.

comment the covid -19 killed many people regardless of age so at first we did
not know the symptoms nor did we have a vaccine against that apart that
totally changed our lives
 THE INVENTION OF THE WHEEL
It is one of the fundamental inventions in the history of humanity both for its
great value in land transport and for its usefulness in making pottery. It is not
known for sure which civilization was the first to use it, but most authors
estimate that the wheel was invented in Mesopotamia, during the El Obeid
period.

comment the invention of the wheel is one of the most important inventions for
human beings since through it we can currently move faster and people who
have businesses can move their products more easily

INTERNET AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES

In 1966, the United States defense services were working on a computer security model
that could connect different computers to each other. Without knowing it, its creators laid
the foundations of what is now the internet. Despite the great social, cultural and
economic transformation that it has brought in recent decades, it is still in its early stages
of evolution. In fact, it is believed that its many possibilities will determine the destiny of
the world in the 21st century.

comment the internet and new technologies are very important because
through them we can inform ourselves, communicate faster and we can also
educate ourselves now that we cannot have face-to-face classes
 THE DOMAIN OF FIRE

The control that primitive hominins achieved over fire marked a before
and after in evolution. If Homo erectus took advantage of it when it
arose naturally, Homo sapiens, for its part, did know how to dominate
the process of creating fire. It allowed cooking, providing light and
heat.
Comment Mastery of fire has been very important since ancient times, so
today people feed on fire because if it weren't for it we would have to eat raw
food

THE PRINTING PRESS

The printing press: The printing press is a mechanical method intended to reproduce
texts and images on paper, vellum, cloth or other material. In its classic form, it consists
of applying an ink, generally oily, on metal pieces (types) to transfer or engrave it by
pressure. Although it began as an artisan method, its implementation in the mid-15th
century achieved a gigantic cultural revolution.

Comment The printing press or better known as a printer currently helps a lot to
businesses since through it we can print newsletters and make more people know our
product apart it also helps us to print important documents and have them physically
