Paragraph on Game...

Tomara
I learned that the Indus Valley civilization existed in between the years 2600 BC-1900BC. I've also learned that archaeologists have found over 2000 settlements. I've also learned that the biggest settlement archaeologists have found in the Indus Valley is called Mohenjo Daro.
Over in the Indus valley I have learned that the wells they have were nothing like I pictured they would be. I have also found out that they have a very wierd draining system, by pictures in the game that were shown. This game has been the longest game I have ever played so far, but it was pretty fun.

Modern Racing.
Most of the dogs participating in organized competition are male or female greyhounds, although races between whippets and between salukis are also held. The racing greyhound, a slender, graceful animal weighing about 29 kg (about 65 lb), is in its prime at approximately the age of three; however, it actively competes between the ages of one and five. It can attain speeds of up to 64 km/hr (40 mph). The price of a trained racing greyhound depends on its record in competition. During its racing life an outstanding greyhound may earn up to $200,000 in purses and breeding fees.
