AP World: A soul-ful discussion

Today we discussed the conceptions of the soul/afterlife for Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, and India, and charted them for similarities and differences.  The homework for tonight is to read page 152 in the textbook and write up a paragraph in answer to the italicized question at the bottom of the page. Email your paragraph to me as either an attachment or just as a regular email.  If you are interested in how the Mayan Calendar works and how the world will end, you can check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZIfyXc8RWk (just for fun.  The description of the calendar and how it works is accurate--from a TimeLife video--the context in which it is placed is not!)
