“Seeing how vile and despicable the idol was, we went outside to ask why they cared about so crude and ungainly a thing. But they, astounded at our daring, defended the honor of their god and said that he was Pachacamac, the Maker of the World, who healed their infirmities. According to what we were able to learn, the devil appeared to their priests in that hut and spoke with them, and they entered there with petitions and offerings from the entire kingdom of Atahualpa, just as Moors and Turks go to the house in Mecca. Seeing the evil of what was there and the blindness of all those people, we gathered together their leaders and enlightened them. And in the presence of all, the hut was opened and torn down and with much solemnity a tall cross was raised over the seat which for so long the devil had claimed as his own.” Miguel de Estete, Spanish mercenary soldier, account of an expedition to

take five to 10 minutes to warm up and cool down properly.

plan to start slowly and boost your activity level gradually unless you are already exercising frequently and vigorously.

be aware that training too hard or too often can cause overuse injuries like stress fractures, stiff or sore joints and muscles, and inflamed tendons and ligaments. sports prompting repetitive wear and tear on certain parts of your body — such as swimming (shoulders), jogging (knees, ankles, and feet), tennis (elbows) — are often overuse culprits, too. a mix of different kinds of activities and sufficient rest is safer.

listen to your body. hold off on exercise when you're sick or feeling very fatigued. cut back if you cannot finish an exercise session, feel faint after exercise or fatigued during the day, or suffer persistent aches and pains in joints after exercising.

if you stop exercising for a while, drop back to a lower level of exercise initially. if you're doing strength training, for example, lift lighter weights or do fewer reps or sets.

for most people, simply drinking plenty of water is sufficient. but if you're working out especially hard or doing a marathon or triathlon, choose drinks that replace fluids plus essential electrolytes.

choose clothes and shoes designed for your type of exercise. replace shoes every six months as cushioning wears out.

for strength training, good form is essential. initially use no weight, or very light weights, when learning the exercises. never sacrifice good form by hurrying to finish reps or sets, or struggling to lift heavier weights.

exercising vigorously in hot, humid conditions can lead to serious overheating and dehydration. slow your pace when the temperature rises above 70°f. on days when the thermometer is expected to reach 80°f, exercise during cooler morning or evening hours or at an air-conditioned gym. watch for signs of overheating, such as headache, dizziness, nausea, faintness, cramps, or palpitations.

dress properly for cold-weather workouts to avoid hypothermia. depending on the temperature, wear layers you can peel off as you warm up. don't forget gloves.

before there were tanks, machine guns, windmills, and solar panels, the first civilizations emerged that create the history of humanity which provided the larger context for western civilization. uses of weaponry and technology were used very differently in the ancient civilizations than they are today. relating back to the times of the ancient mesopotamian civilization, technology kept advancing throughout the ancient egyptian civilization into the ancient greek civilization, and then finally the ancient roman civilization. as techniques and strategies were past down from civilization to civilization, each shared its own similarities, as well as varied differences. one trait they had in common was to commit violence and economically overpower one another. technology has ultimately advanced due to the knowledge transferred from generation to generation. uses of sophisticated weaponry and devices have created more opportunity for warfare and improvement in the work place. ancient civilizations became more powerful due to the advancements of technology. technology did not only create the use of violence, but it also the economies grow and become stronger, because production of trading goods rose like never before. the rivers, such as the nile, tigris, and euphrates all flourished, as well as destructed civilizations. each civilization had different uses for these rivers, however, some benefited more than others. when analyzing ancient civilizations, there   are things you must understand
