This is not the best presentation on the religions, but goes over some of the main ideas of each.  My original presentation disappeared and 70% of this one was borrowed from another source.  Hope to update it in the future!

The first emperor and the Terra Cotta Warriors.

 As you watch this video, look for these answers: How did the first emperor gain power?  Who had a great influence on his early thinking?  Describe the burial chamber?  When did people first start to believe this could be a real place?  How many warriors have been found?  More questions to follow, but put thes in your notes!!

 

 

Some of this is a little cave-manish (people probably didn't like long nasty-looking hair thousands of years ago or act like they should be in a GEICO commercial), but there's some good infomation to see.

Here are a series of videos aired on the Discovery Channel following a man as he makes contact with a remote (but present day) society of potentially canibalistic humans.  As you watch, ask yourself how have the humans adapted to their surroundings and how have they adapted their surroundings to themselves.
