Post Classical Era Empire Research


     My part of the presentation was to present about inventions during Medieval Empire. Some inventions during Medieval Empire was Hourglass, Crossbow, Eyeglasses, Printing Press, and etc. 

     Some similarities between my group empire to the other empires are that 
1) Between our Medieval Empire and Song Dynasty was a bit the same about inventions. Song Dynasty had many different inventions which are the same as us and they also invented the magnetic compass and used it as a key to travel and to navigate, which was the same to our dynasty.
2) Another thing is that Medieval Empire had the same type of leader which was like El Cid, and like the leader in Tang Dynasty. Gao Tsu (Li Yuan) who express the land/ make the land bigger like Robert de Bruce too.   
3) Song Dynasty and our Medieval Empire, they both have a farming and irrigation. It helps both empires to have more food.

         Some difference between my empire which was Medieval Empire to the other empires are.....
1) Medieval Empire would have inventions usually for working and fighting. For example; printing press, hourglass, eyeglasses, and mechanical clock. But if we compare it with the Islamic Caliphates, their inventions would be about Math. Arabs discovered many different basic concepts for Math during that time. So I think some difference is that Islamic Caliphates will mostly make the inventions based on Math.
2) Another thing is that Medieval Empire was like there were many countries in it. But the other Dynasty like Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, it was just the dynasty in one country which was China. 


       I think the difficult about this project was when I needed to find a real information about inventions during medieval times. Also, truly I needed to find information about culture developments too. But during Medieval Empire time, they didn't really do a culture developments so, I couldn't really find the information. 
  
       Something that I would do differently if I was to do this project again is that I will try more information about all of those inventions and speak more clearly and better. Another thing that I will do differently is that I will put more pictures that help other people understand my words more too. 

        The best learning I have taken away from this research experience is that I learned that during Medieval Empire they had also invented a mechanical clock too! Also, I had learned about many different leaders from Ryu too. I learned what did all of the important leaders did to the Medieval Empire and many different things which were very good to know too. I will apply this new knowledge in the future by maybe when I get older and the teacher asked about Medieval Empire. I can just use all of this information as a background knowledge.
