Silk production
---------------------
A moth lays 500 or so eggs and then dies
Baby worms hatch from the eggs are fed mulberry leaves for one month until they are fat
The worms spin cocoons
The cocoons are steamed to kill the growing moth inside
The cocoons are rinsed in hot water to loosen the threads
Women would unwind the cocoons and then combine six or so fibers into silk threads
The threads are woven into cloth
The cloth is then pounded to make it softer
Why it was valuable to the Chinese
-------------------------------------------------
Silk cloth was extremely valuable in Ancient China. Wearing silk was an important status symbol. At first, only members of the royal family were allowed to wear silk. Later, silk clothing was restricted to only the noble class. Merchants and peasants were not allowed to wear silk. Silk was even used as money during some Ancient Chinese dynasties.
Why it was secret
-------------------------
Silk became a prized export for the Chinese. Nobles and kings of foreign lands desired silk and would pay high prices for the cloth. The emperors of China wanted to keep the process for making silk a secret. Anyone caught telling the secret or taking silkworms out of China was put to death.

Little big horn is where they were wiped out
Jews of the first century had the greatest and most widespread expectation of a <u>Davidic Messiah</u>; Jews anticipate a David-lineage king who will rule Israel with righteousness and justice in the end times. And most likely the one they yearned for, who had the strength to drive away their adversaries.
As a traditional messianic title referring to the Messiah's lineage from David, "Son of David" refers to the greatest king of Israel. Many Jews in ancient Israel did not accept Jesus as the promised Messiah.
However, since the messianic figures ranged from king to priest to prophet, messianic expectations varied from one group to another. Some came to believe that the Messiah was a supernatural being.

Usually, <em>a disease is considered pandemic</em> when it crosses international borders. A disease that does not cross international borders is an epidemic. An example of a pandemic would be the Black Plague (also called the Black Death or the Bubonic Plague), which <em>killed most of the population of Western Medieval Europe.</em>
