Yo pienso que la asociacion de la mesta es buena porque :



1ºPor que le dan mucha poder al pais.


2ºPor que las rutas de la transumancia unen las ciudades de todo el pais.


3ºPor que se benefician de la gran calidad de la lana de las ovejas.


4ºPor que aumentó mucho el comercio gracias a la lana y la carne de las ovejas.


5ºPor que la artesania aumentó mucho por la lana de las ovejas que hizo que se hicieran todo

tipo de prendas con esta lana de gran calidad.



Por otra parte no beneficia mucho por que las ovejas "destruyen" los campos y las cosechas de los agricultores y esto crea una gran disminución de este campo.

el viaje de marco polo


Marco Polo fue un mercader y explorador veneciano que, junto con su padre y su tío, estuvo entre los primeros occidentales que viajaron por la ruta de la seda a china. Se dice que introdujo la pólvora en Europa, aunque la primera vez que se utilizó en Occidente acaeció en la batalla de Niebla en 1262.
Los Polo (Marco, su padre y su tío) vivieron allí supuestamente durante diecisiete años antes de volver a Venecia. Tras su regreso, Marco Polo contaba a la sazón 41 años y comandaba una galera veneciana el día en que se libró, ante los muros de Korcula, en Croacia, una batalla naval contra la gran rival de Venecia, la república de Génova, en 1298. Los genoveses apresaron a Marco Polo, lo llevaron a Génova y allí, en la prisión, Polo dictó a un tal Rustichello de Pisa las memorias de su viaje fabuloso hasta Catai y el regreso por Malaca, Ceilán, la India y Persia. Rustichello redactó en un dialecto franco-véneto el libro conocido como Il Milione acerca de sus viajes. El libro se llamó originalmente Divisament du monde ,pero se popularizó como Libro de las maravillas del mundo y, más tarde, como Il Milione. Es creencia general que tal nombre vino de la tendencia del autor a referirse a grandes cantidades; "millones" pero es más probable que derivase de su propio nombre "Emilione", abreviado en Milione.

Pre-Columbian civilizatión


they live in south america.
This list of pre-Columbian civilizations includes those civilitations and cultures of the americaas which flourished prior to the european colonization in the americas. These Pre-Columbian civilizations established characteristics such as permanent or urban settlements, agriculture, and complex societal hierarchies.
Many of these civilizations had long ceased to function by the time of the first permanent European arrivals and are known only through archaelogical investigations. Others were contemporary with this period, and are also known from historical accounts of the time. A few (such as the Maya) had their own written records. However, most Europeans of the time largely viewed such text as heretical and few survived Christian pyres. Only a few hidden documents remain today, leaving modern historians with glimpses of ancient culture and knowledge.
From both indigenous American and European accounts and documents, American civilizations at the time of European encounter possessed many impressive feats such as the most populous city in the world as well as modern theory of astronomy and mathematics.
Where they persist, the societies and cultures which gave rise to these civilizations may now be substantively different in form to that of the original. However, many of these peoples and their descendants still uphold various traditions and practices which relate back to these earlier times, even if combined with those more recently-adopted.
The cultures are listed alphabetically, with the approximate time interval of existence and modern-day location.
