Check spelling. There are many words with mistakes. You miss some capital letters and make typographic errors.

Try to change the name of the link with something like "India" to make readers to be more interested.

As you may noticed I left my book at your home so I couldn´t look for the essential questions. I´ll finish to check on Monday. Good work.

3. paragraph: They didn´t belief in Christianism, the author use it to make an example, they haven´t discovered which was their religion. Take a look to your book page 223. What about pictographs? and the expansions? You didn´t answered the question.
