- great civilization = advanced technology, large population, well organized work force
- prehistory: the time before things were written down (13,000 years ago hunter-gatherers existed)
- Papua New Guinea one of the only places with hunter-gatherers
- Sago: tree that they eat from (make a dough that they can cook) - 70lbs per tree - super high in starch not much protein
- barley & wheat much better for you than sage
- draa - archaeologist Ian Kite found oldest known human settlement Jordan Valley River Dead Sea
 - They were the first farmers 11,500 years ago
- created world's first granary (grain storage place)
