Have you ever thought about how people lived a long time ago? Well, there is one community with a creative way of living. It’s called Skara Brae. It’s considered a Neolithic Village.

Due to these life-threatening issues archaeologists have concluded that it is far too dangerous to attempt excavation of the inlaid tomb. Even though it’s too dangerous, scientists are still seeking to find a safe way to excavate in the future. The architect of the complex can’t be traced back to one specific person, conclusively, archaeologists believe that its fascinating creation was responsible to many people of the Qin Dynasty. Qin’s burial complex is an extraordinary discovery, but many questions remain unanswered. Why was the First Emperor so obsessed with immortality and defense in death? What do you suppose lies in his tomb and why do you think the Chinese have not opened it yet? Although we have learned from archaeologists that it is far too dangerous to excavate due to the inlaid death trap which surrounds the tomb. Many people still believe there is a bigger reason for why the tomb has yet to be unearthed. Along with one final question; what effect did the creation of the First Emperor’s terracotta army have on burial customs after his dynasty? Which many archaeologists believe that dynasties following the creation of the great mausoleum tried to copy the grand scheme but were never

Yellowstone National Park, established March 1, 1862, by U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant, was and still is the United States’ largest national park.

Olmec colossal heads have been found at La Venta, San Lorenzo, and Tres Zapotes. Despite they were each carved out of a basalt boulder and weigh 8 tons on average, they were hauled for miles through water and across land. No one knows for sure how they were transported, but some believe that the Olmec people used log rollers and balsa rafts to carry the giant heads. They are one of the most mysterious artifacts in the ancient world, but the most believed theory about the Olmec colossal heads is that because of their intricate features, and all the work that was put into making one, they represented Olmec rulers. Another theory is that the heads with helmets were the well-known ball players. The heads have scowles and flattened noses due to

The Lava Beds National Monument. This sounds like a terrific field trip to take. It would be sight seeing, and it will be fun and adventurous. It would give us a chance to see a different part of the country and how molten rock caves look. It will be a memory that we will never forget. It is located in California, and it is one of their "best kept secrets." It does not get that many visitors in a year. It is a 47,000 acre park and is near a park that attracts 4 million people a year. It would be fun to kids that do not really go to see anything this neat. It would even be a fun science field trip to teach us about the type of rocks and how long it took to form. It has numerous of mountains and deep dark caves that you can explore.
