Technology B- (Connor Hawley)

The empire of Axum deserves a B- because they had advancements in technology but not enough to sustain a immense empire. They made advancements in their economics by creating a coin money system, terrace farming, and invention of dams. The economics of the coin system were fairly simple. Using a single coin structure to trade among the other civilizations. They used terrace farming in the hilly and mountainous areas to sustain a common food source among the empire. They aslo used the invention of dams to their advantage. The Axum used them by stopping the flow of the river to flood the plains to accomplish irrigation to the farming. The advanced system on the irrigation system layed the standards to modern day farming and agiriculture. They were advanced to the opposite empires compared to technological standards.

The Axum deserve a B- because they had one influential advance in the terrace farming, they also layed the walkway to the current economic systems with their feeble start. Their other achievements are just temporary improvements to life for the Axum citizens.
