Athenian political figure
As Pericles surveyed the political scene early in his career, he noticed the following phenomenon: Every Athenian political figure believed he was rational, had realistic goals, and plans on how to get there. They all worked hard for their political factions and tried to increase their power. They led Athenian armies into battle and often came out ahead. They strove to expand the empire and bring in more money. And when their political maneuvering suddenly backfired, or the wars turned out badly, they had excellent reasons for why this had happened. They could always blame the opposition or, if need be, the gods.

Collapse Of Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egypt was once a powerful empire, known for its Great Pyramids and Sphinx. However, today all that remains are ruins. The downfall of Ancient Egypt is a complex story. Did conquest, civil war, climate, or plague lead to their demise? To understand their end, we must go back to their beginning. How did Egypt become a powerhouse? The answer lies in climate change. The region was once a lush ecosystem, filled with large animals and birds. Tribes settled there, domesticating animals and developing tools. The Badarian people were the first tribe in the area, followed by the Naqada who built a large city. Location was key, as the Naqada controlled the Nile valley and trade.
