Medes

Medes were a group of people who lived in ancient times, in a place called Media. They were kind of like a big family, who shared a lot of things and often worked together. They had their own language, which they spoke to each other, but other people who didn't know that language had a hard time understanding them.

The Medes were very good at making things - especially cloth and metal objects. They also knew a lot about medicine, which is why they were sometimes called "Medes" as a way to say "doctors".

The Medes were really smart and brave, and sometimes they would go to war against other groups of people who tried to take over their land. They were also really good at trading with other people, and they became very rich because of it.

Even though the Medes don't exist anymore, they were very important to the history of the world. They helped to shape the way that people live today, and we can still learn a lot from them.
