I think that if the ancient civilizations realized the mistakes they had made the first time they could have improved on them the second time around. I think the Assyrians were able to conquer so many civilizations because they learned from their mistakes. They knew how to cause fear.When and if these civilizations had realized their mistakes instead of improving upon them for a while they should've continually been aware of such mistakes.

Kelly, you made a great point saying that the Assyrians learned to cause fear. That is exactly what they did. I think that is the best example to talk about. I also included that in what I wrote. Being aware of your mistakes is a good way to fix them!

Kelly, I think that you are right about the fact that if people learned from their mistakes then they wouldn't do that agian. But what i don't understand is when you said, "I think the Assyrians were able to conquer so many civilizations because they learned from their mistakes." but what mistakes did they make. Was it that they used terror as a weapon, but i don't think they learned because they didn't stop until they were conquered. Other then that I agree with you. Good Job!
