Julia Leno Dr. Connellan AP World History ? 6 14 October 2012 Chapter 7 Outline Historians call the period from 1500 to 500 BC the ?Vedic Age? after the Vedas, religious texts that are our main source of information about that period. The foundations for Indian civilization were laid in the Vedic Age. Nomadic Warriors migrated into northwest India around 1500 BC. Some think that the migration was because of the spread of agriculture. After the collapse of the Indus Valley civilization there was no central authority to direct irrigation efforts; therefore, the region had become home to many kinship groups that depended mostly on herds of cattle for sustenance and perhaps also on some gardening to supplement their diet. These groups, like other Indo-European groups were patriarchal.

Alexander III of Macedon (20/21 July 356 – 10/11 June 323 BC), commonly known as Alexander the Great (Greek: Μέγας Ἀλέξανδρος, Mégas Aléxandros), was a king of Macedon (Greek: Βασιλεύς Μακεδόνων), a state in the north eastern region of Greece, and by the age of thirty was the creator of one of the largest empires in ancient history, stretching from the Ionian sea to the Himalaya. He was undefeated in battle and is considered one of the most successful commanders of all time.[1] Born in Pella in 356 BC, Alexander was tutored by the famed philosopher Aristotle. In 336 BC he succeeded his father Philip II of Macedon to the throne after Philip was assassinated. Philip had brought most of the city-states of mainland Greece under Macedonian hegemony, using both military and diplomatic means.

Summary This Chapter is about the ancient Indian civilizations such as the Harappan and Gupta. The first Indian civilization was the Harappan. They traded early and created a written form of language. Once the Harappan civilization ends, the caste system and the different varnas are created. Hinduism was greatly related to the caste system. When Siddharta was born, he was protected from the cruelties of the outside world. He searched for “truth and meaning” and created a new religion: Buddhism. Meanwhile, the Upanishads rose followed by the Indo-Aryans, Magadha, and the Gupta. Identify Indo-Aryans: Indo-European tribes who moved in slow waves into India Vedas: Great literature of the Indo-Aryan religion Sanskrit: Indo-Aryan language
