Post 1 Brandon C Hello class, My name is Brandon Chastain and I am very excited to be taking this class because history is my favorite subject and it was always interesting to me growing up. Originally I was born and raised in a little city called Rome down in Georgia, However, I am currently living in Florida. I am an HVAC technician for the Air Force but I am applying to retrain to a training manager due to my pursuit of a degree in Human Resources. Currently, I am working on my last class for my associate’s degree and I will then start my bachelor’s. I hope to one day become an officer in the future. I have a beautiful wife named Venus and a little boxer puppy named Maya. My personal hobbies include basketball, drawing, playing video games and, going on bike rides. Out of the 5 images of monuments that were presented in the instructions, I personally find monument number 4 to be the most interesting. I would guess that it is a tomb of an ancient civilization somewhere in the middle east. One thing is clear, the civilization that built this was definitely far more advanced for the time they were living in. They were most likely dominating the section of the world they were residing in. I would also guess that the monument was most likely built during the Sumerian era. I would not know how they built it or what materials were needed, however, given how long ago this was built I would assume that basic rocks/ bricks were used to build this. As far as what this monument was used for I am betting it was used as a tomb of their dead kings or maybe a religious site. All in all, this is a beautiful structure and shows how creative and innovative ancient human civilizations were. Post 2 Luke N My name is Luke Nagele. I am 35 years old and live in Tucson, Arizona. I have a beautiful wife, we have been married for eight years now, and we have been together for 11 years. I also have a 13-year-old son. I am currently in the U.S. Air Force Reserves. I have spent six years in active duty and nine years in the reserves with a total of 15 years so far. My wife and I love to ride motorcycles and SCUBA dive. My wife is a rider as well. We have been on over ten cross country trips together on our motorcycles. The most memorable trip we took was riding from Tucson, AZ to Sturgis, South Dakota for the 75th motorcycle rally in 2015. I know we live in a desert; however, the ocean is only 5 ½ hours south of us. My wife and I try to go diving at least twice a year. We have only dove in two locations, Mexico and Belize. However, we have dove in Mexico on over seven different trips. Of the five photos of monuments; I choose the first one, the bridge. The function of the first monument is the connect one piece of land to another that is divided by water or terrain that it is not easy to maneuver through or not accessible for any given reason. This monument is built from earth which can be brick, stones, rocks or dirt. When its built from bricks, rock or stone it is a lot harder to build but it can last longer than wood, as wood will rot over time. This bridge has arches which is common in stone, rock and brick structures. This design has been used for over 2000 years, and is still common in the 21st century.
