Archaeology 101
Greetings!
In this blog I'm going to inform you about Archaeology and what makes it so exciting! Although the Indiana Jones Series is a very good movie saga story about a wild, charismatic archaeologist who travels the world in search of priceless artifacts, it doesn’t depict the true reality of being an Archaeologist. Archaeology can be very exciting, however, even if you don’t get to carry a leather whip and have an attractive sidekick! There are many adventures involved in archaeology.
Think of yourself at a popular archaeological site, like the Mayan ruins Chichen Itza, or the Egyptian pyramids like the Great Pyramid of Giza. You’ve always wondered what was in those temples and large stone structures, but the only thing holding you back was the rope that was closing you off from these amazing sites. Archaeologists get to go “behind the scenes” and past the guide rope into these ancient buildings to discover relics and artifacts that our ancient ancestors left behind. Archaeologists go all across the globe on different dig sites to search for things that seem manmade or important to our knowledge of our history. How exciting would it be to go to places like The Valley of the Kings in Egypt or Tulum in Mexico? Or what about the Ellora Caves in India or to see the incredible 8,000 Terracotta Army in China?
So many things have yet to be found, but archaeologists are on a budget. It requires a lot of money and time to get the approval to excavate an area. Archaeologists have to have a broad knowledge of our world history or a particular culture and civilization that you are studying. Even though many people don’t enjoy history, it really is what made us the way we are today. What most people don’t realize that history is last year, last month, yesterday, and history was even 5 minutes ago, that’s how history is made. That’s how archaeologists think; they keep their minds open to new things, new ideas and answers to ancient clues.
Archaeologists are like detectives, they investigate ancient crime scenes and look for clues and hidden answers to all of our history questions. One of my favorite archaeologists and “detectives” is Howard Carter; he is the archaeologist that discovered King Tutankhamen’s tomb which was one of the most well-preserved tombs in all of Egypt. He discovered it on November 26, 1922, which in my opinion is one of the coolest archaeologists that I have ever researched about.
In this post I have talked about many things that I like about archaeologists and what they are about, I find it to be one of the coolest jobs in the world to contribute something and to give our world some answers about our ancestors. Knowledge is power, and I think we wouldn’t have the knowledge if our ancestors didn’t think about it, Mayans with their infinite knowledge of the universe and their ‘know how’ of astronomy, Greeks with their knowledge of philosophy and mathematics. The Japanese with knowledge of war tactics and the use of poetry and zen. The Babylonians and their use of trade of goods and crops, Egyptians and their essential knowledge of cultivating and harvesting in the desert. Incredible people, all across the globe, our past makes the future to make this Earth a better place.

Origins of Volleyball
Volleyball was originally called "mintonette" and was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan. It was created for businessmen as a game that involved less physical contact. The sport was designed from a combination of basketball, baseball, tennis and handball.
The Original Rules:
~Called for a net 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) high, a 25×50 ft (7.6×15.2 m) court
~Any number of players
~A match was composed of nine innings with three serves for each team in each inning
~No limit to the number of ball contacts for each team before sending the ball to the opponents’ court. In case of a serving error, a second try was allowed
~Hitting the ball into the net was considered a foul (with loss of the point or a side-out)—except in the case of the first-try serve.
The first exhibition match in 1896 was played at the International YMCA Training School at Springfield College, and after that rules were slightly modified and it spread across the country. There was some dispute over what year the official ball had been used created by Spalding. It was between the years of 1896-1900. The sport of volleyball was spreading rapidly and the next country outside the United States to adopt volleyball was Canada in 1900. It became popular and by the mid 1900's the first World Championships were held in 1949 for men and 1952 for women. The sport is now popular in Brazil, Europe such as Italy, the Netherlands,and countries from Eastern Europe, in Russia, China and the rest of Asia. After normal indoor volleyball had gotten big, the ideas of beach volleyball and even Olympic volleyball had emerged in the late 1900's.
It is known as one of the most well-loved sports in the world currently, and it is amazing how much the game has changed and how much work was put into to make it so successful.
