Ancient Civilizations
The significance of the Ancient World is a fascinating area to study and a complex mysterious aura for young historians to understand because it’s dynasties and our understanding of the past events and leaders that have been connected to the globalized world we are in today. In this course, the time period spans from 3000 BCE to 600 CE. It predominantly focuses on aspects such as culture, geography and environment, governance and social hierarchy, achievements and as well as people and populations. Unlike Introduction To World History (600 CE - 1450), this course dives in depth about diverse cultures as well as great leaders and rulers that once ruled these certain civilizations like Sargon Of Akkad and Hammurabi in Ancient Mesopotamia, King Tutankhaman in Ancient Egypt, Qin Shi Huangdi From Ancient China and etc. Additionally, students will learn about specific historical skills they might need in the future for certain social studies courses like Intermediate and Introduction - World History and Japanese History (794 A.D - 1900 A.D) and also Introduction - Chinese History (1600 BCE - 907 CE). Historical skills like historical analysis and evidence as well as good reading comprehension are needed to succeed in this class. No prerequisites are also required for this course.
