    Selevian

              A long time ago, a religion name Selenism started in The Selenvian, a tiny little planet in the universe that no human on Earth has ever heard of. There were only 3 countries on the Selevian. The Sel- at the East, the Lena- at the south and the last one is the Vian at the North-West.
              Selenism was a religion ruled by a person- the top of the Church ( like Pope ) There was only one Pope on the Selevian. THe Pope was the one who makes decisions, the one who ruled. But It was hard for the Pope to make decisions that would be the best for all three countries.
               In 1910, the Sel argued with the pope for one of the decisions that he made. They wanted to have a group of people to ruled then they could vote for decisions that they or a person in group wanted to made. THe pope denied everything. The Sel foght against the pope who lived at the very West of the Sel, they crossed two main rivers in the Selevian. The first river started at the North of the Sel-ended at the South-West of the Lena. THe second river started at the North of the Vian- ended at the Sel. The war between the Pope and the Sel last for 2 years. The Pope lost. In 1930, the Sel started a new branch of the Selenism- call the Eastern Selenism. The Sel practiced E-Selenism while the other two stil following W-Selenism.( the originary one)
                 In 1950, to trade easier with other countries, the Sel decided to started a new trade ceter at the middle of the Selenvian, where 3 countries meet each other. The Sel trade resources such as oil, diamond,.., the Lena trade for animals and the Lena got the best seafoods in the planet and it was also a perfect place for traveling.IN 1950, King Arnorld III moved the capital to Numa ( near the lake) to trade easier along the river and to easier on controling the contry because there were not much peopel living at the North-East of Sel. In 1960, the Lena attacked the Sel for resources- created huge damage. AT this time, many poeple moved from the Lena to The Sel, mixing the cultures of two countries, some cities near the Lena now speaking Lenaese.Un till 1970, a peace contract between three contries, they decided that there's will be no more wars on the planet either beacause of religion or resources, they don't want the planet being destroy.
                 From 1980 to 2010, The selevian started the period of exploration and invention. They sailed around the Selevian for the first time. Created the first time machine...

    What I've learned about myself/friends cultures ?

    Through this family trees project, I've learned a lot of things about my friends and myself- things that I didn't notice before.This is two of the things that I learned.
    I didn't know anything about my great grandparents, they are all gone when I was little. I asked my parents about them and then I found out something- My G-Grandfather on my dad side had 18 wives. The other one on my mom sise had 23 wives.WOw, they had so many wives-it is a huge number. How could that happen ?My parents said it was normal for men to have many wives at that time but It was not ok to let women have many husband.Well, and the other thing is what I learned about my friend's culture.I have a friend and she is from Russia, on the presentation, she brought us a Russian desert. It makes from yogurt, sugar and milk. She said that difference family has diffenrence recipes. I like it, it's sweet and taste good
