State several evidence which support the ancient astronaut theory. Discuss whether you agree or disagree to the evidence that you have identified.


          Based on the movie I have watched Ancient Aliens: The Evidence, which supports the ancient astronaut theory. There are several evidences that can identify through the documentary.





         Firstly, it is about small wooden bird model found in Egypt known as the Saqqara Bird that flying besides the pharaoh and has the description ‘I want to fly’. It can recognize as simple lines and geometric shapes. This statement was supported by Dr Algund Eenboom who the CEO- Author of Aircraft of the pharaoh. 

         Secondly, they also found some dozens of objects that look like an insect or fish that represented fire jets in Colombia’s ancient buildings around 1500 years. Well, the fire jet has triangular shape design, stabilizers and a fuselage which almost as the same as nowadays modern fire jets. It was found that the shape of the objects similar to aerodynamic space shuttle with high speed aerodynamic body. 




        The Third evidence is giant human figure with enormous heads also been found at Easter Island. These statues stand 13 feet high and weigh 14 tons and look much heavier. They also found a field of stone ruins scattered with giant carved blocks.






        Through the documentary, I disagree with all the evidence was given. In my opinion, aliens never existed and ‘they’ totally not contribute to development ancient civilization. Aliens are only human imagination. Other than that, human intelligent are capable to construct wonders with the skills of their knowledge.   








                                           


Based on the documentary A.B.B, do you think all the vices committed by Julius Caesar were necessary in order to safeguard the superiority of Rome as the greatest civilization in the ancient world?



         Julius Caesar is known as one of the greatest leader ever existed in ancient time and it is supported by many historians who believe that the superiority of Rome was contribute by Julius Caesar. In order to answer this question, all the vices committed by Julius Caesar were unnecessary in order to safeguard the superiority of Rome. This is because Julius Caesar is a cruel leader and his action was not humanity.

          The reason which are in the battle of Alesia, Caesar allowed thousands of women and children to starve to death. It shows that he willing to anything to protect his army even though he had to sacrifice the other people life. His action was unacceptable and he totally has no sympathy to people around him. Well, he was cruel when he ordered his army to cut off every man hands as a warning for those who are do not followed his order and were trying to against him. His methods that he uses maybe make people scared and just obey the rule but it is unfair to people to treat them like that. It seems he consider more to his power than other people’s fate. 


                     

         
         Moreover, he always tried to dominate many countries by having bloody battles. The example was given which is when he approached to Avaricum where a battle had held and about 39,000 of men, women and children had been slaughtered by his soldiers. Against to his action, there are another ways that can apply to take over the country. Then by killing innocence people, it is unacceptable as humanity value.

         Regarding the documentary, Caesar had slept with women including his friends’ wives. The situation cannot be happen as a leader of country. He cannot take an opportunity as a leader to everyone obeys his order. He should show a good attitude and respects other people right.

     For conclusion, Julius Caesar’s vices were unnecessary in order to safeguard the superiority of Rome because as a leader there are another ways to develop civilization. As a leader, Caesar should be more tolerate but distinct to his citizen. Lastly, without using vicious way a leader still can success very well.

Do you agree that Brutus had a noble motive when murdering his adopted father, Julius Caesar? Discuss.




                                      
          Gaius Julius Caesar wasdictator of Roman Republic and a distinguished writer of Latin prose. Julius died in 15th March 44 BC during his age was 55 years. He was killed by 60 of Roman senators that led by Gaius Cassius Longinus and his adopted son, Marcus Junius Brutus. Caesar was stabbed about 23 times until death in the Theatre of Pompey. 

                To answer this question given, I disagree that Brutus had a noble motive when murdering his adopted father, Julius Caesar and there are several reasons why Brutus kill Caesar even though he actually loves Caesar.


            First of all, in his claimed he only stated that he loved Rome more and Caesar was an ambitious man. He also wanted to save Rome from destroy in Caesar domination. 

           In my opinion, I think Brutus had confuses situation to make decision. Moreover, he had been pressured by Cassius who seduced him to murder his adopted father. If he had a noble motive, he will not hesitated when he want to stab Caesar and then felt guilty after killing Caesar. 
  
           Other than that, he also ran away to Asia (Philippine) with Cassius since the Roman was looking for them. It shows that he scared to face Roman because he had kill Caesar for noble motive.  He actually had no plan to kill Caesar. 

         Lastly, Brutus did not had noble motive when murdering Caesar. He is an immature person and cannot think wisely during the situation. In addition, he was influence by Cassius.
