Boats are one of the oldest means of transport. They allowed the fishermen to go further to get fish, but they also allowed civilizations to cross the oceans to conquer new continents. Today, we find small boats as recreational sailboats and luxury yachts, but also huge transport ships and cruise liners for cruises.

Buildings and architecture

The architecture is a way for each civilization to construct its buildings and infrastructure. Within the same civilization, we can recognize different times by the appearance of its buildings. The architecture also applies to bridges, public spaces and other monuments. The architecture is part of the heritage.

Celebrations and holidays

The celebrations are rituals that gather people periodically at a specific time and also often at a particular place. People hold celebrations for religious reasons. The holidays are highlighted by tradition or pleasure.

They lived from about 231 million years ago (Triassic period) to until about 66 million years ago (Cretaceous period). Their size varied to very small to very large. They are considered the biggest creatures that Earth has known.

A mass extinction event, the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, killed about 75% of plant and animal species on Earth. The event is related to an asteroid impact.
