Answer 2

A LITTLE help?! OK,here ya go (but I warn you I might editorialize some) -
Muhammad: The founder of Islam. Revered as divinely inspired by millions. Reviled as a lunatic by other millions. You pays your money, you take your choice.
Medina: A holy city in Islam, located in present day Saudi Arabia.
Phonecians: A culture that dwelt in present day Lebanon, on the Eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, ca 3000-100 BCE, give or take. Invented the alphabet and piracy.
Allah: Arabic for "God" Notional old man in the sky who sees you when you're sleeping and knows when you're awake, and keeps tabs on everything you do and say.
Ka'bah: A big a s s rock in Jerusalem from which Muhammad (see above) allegedly ascended into heaven.
Quran: The Scripture of Islam. Alegedly dictated to Muhammad by an "angel".
Jihad: "Holy War" Now there's an oxymoron. The word actually means something close to "struggle", and, for many Muslims, it's more a personal struggle to live a righteous life. Certain demented ones have perverted this.
Hegira: Muhammad's flight(as in retreat).
Scribes: Writers. In the days when most people were illiterate (and intentionally kept that way by religious and secular authorities), they had to pay scribes to write letters or business documents for them.
Hyksos: Invaded Egypt from the East ca 2500 BCE. Ruled there for a century or so, then got bounced out.
Cunieform: One of the first systems of writing, developed in Sumeria in the 3rd millenium BCE. Oddly enough, the "cun" root, which means "wedge" or "triangle", is the same one as the vulgar term for a portion of the female anatomy.
Monotheistic: Belief in one supreme god
Polytheistic: Belief in more than one god, the opposite of "monotheistic". Neither makes any sense to me.
Hatshepsut: The first female Pharoah of Egypt
Monsoons: seasonal rainstorms in Asia
Caliph: The notional spiritual leader of Islam. Hasn't been an effective one in centuries.
Patricians: Hereditary Roman aristocracy. Thought they were better than everyone else because they inherited money. The problem persists to this day.
Plebians: The working class
Nomadic: People who make their living raising livestock. They travel with their herds.
Feudalism: A discredited system of government in which all power was derived from the king. The king appointed dukes, the dukes appointed counts...and so on. This is really complicated, and beyond the scope of this answer.
Fief: A feudal estate. If you were lucky enough to own a fief, however briefly, you owned all the people that lived in your territory. Seriously f-d up.
First and Second Triumvarites: Rulers of Rome. So what.
Dynasty: An ongoing (and probably inbred) family that holds the throne of a constitutional , well, really, any monarchy. A horrible idea, but some countries cling to it.
Consuls: In this context, Roman officials whom the "dynasty" employed to manage the nuts and bolts of government, sometimes well, sometimes badly

I'm tired...I'll do the rest later...
OK, it's later

Dictator: An autocratic ruler almost always a self-absorbed a s s hole,
Nile River: The long river in Egypt. It's split, farther south, into the Blue and White Nile.The key to ancient Egyptian civilization.
Irrigation: The process of moving fresh water to where it wouldn't normally be for the purpose of growing crops. Another key to ancient civilizations, once people worked out how to do it.
Pilgramage: A journey to a site regarded as holy bu one's religion. Muslims believe it's important to make one to Mecca. Christians used to do them to Jerusalem, which led to some unpleasantness with the Muslims. The after effects are still with us.
Hammurabi: A king in the ancient middle east who invented a code of laws. It was less ambiguous than the (ostensibly more or less contemporary) one in Exodus, but it was pretty harsh. Shoddy construction work could get the death penalty.
mimmiification: The preservation of a dead body by stuffing it like a thanksgiving turkey, wrapping it up, and letting it dry for a while. The drying seems to have been the key part.
Octavian: Augustus
Democracy: Government by popular vote. It might still work.
Brutus: Roman senator and leader of the conspiracy to assassinate Julius Caesar
Cleopatra: Egyptian queen wrapped in a rug but ultimately snake-bit
Jesus of Nazareth: Notional founder of Christianity. Which might be a good idea if anybody really tried it.
Augustus:Octavian
Senate: A generally corrupt body of men who legislate various things. This definition is still current.
Republic: A hoity toity democracy
Pyramid: The shape any stone building takes on when it collapses. There is NO evidence that Egyptian and Mexican/Central American pyramids had any connection.
Pax Romana: "Roman Peace" The period while the barbarians were gathering their strength.
Delta: The fourth letter of the Greek alphabet. Triangle. The area near the mouth of a major river. A really cool style of blues music.
Ten Commandments: A set of rules reportedly laid down by the Jewish deity Yaweh. Hard to figure the "coveting" stuff, if you ask me.
BCE: current historical jargon for "Before Common Era"
Covenant: A deal
OK, 48, you're on your own
Tigris and Euphrates: two rivers in the Middle East. In ancient times, the center of the "Fertile Crescent". Today...bad vugum.
Papyrus: Paper made from reeds

Answer 3

He's not. Not even a little bit. Child, please! Have you not paid one tiny bit of attention in history class? You want someone interesting who has had in impact on music and black history? MARVIN GAYE. His "What's Goin' On" album was one of the most significant pieces of work during the end of the Civil Rights era, and not just for black people, but for people over in Vietnam as well. Marvin talked about black pride, but also about political and social injustices that affected everyone. You interested in controversial rappers? How about the very first rapper - Gil Scott Heron. Along with groups like the Last Poets, he was very VERY influential during the Black Power movement of the late 60's and early 70's. He's all cracked out now, but he was a very powerful and influential jazz artist back in the day, and yes, very controversial (hint: he was one of Tupacs major influences). Look him up. Or check him out on Youtube. Matter of fact, I'm listening to his 1994 CD "Spirits" right now. You want someone a bit different? Ever heard of Madame CJ Walker? Yes, she actually was, er, a "madame". But she was also the first black female millionaire (possibly the first black millionaire period). She invented the pressing comb and all sorts of other hair care products. She was pretty much one of the first black entrepeneurs.
