You’ve probably heard the old Proverb, "Those that don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it." In classrooms and Universities, a lot of time is spent dealing with history… American history, all of the World Wars, European history… Archaeologists and anthropologists dedicate years of their lives digging for new facts, clues and insights into the world as it was long before we were born.
But perhaps the most mysterious and fascinating civilizations on our planet were here centuries, even millennia ago. Indeed, from the period of 3,000-1,200 B.C. there were five ancient civilizations that dominated the historical records.
If you're eager to learn where and why these civilizations emerged, as well as their unique histories, cultures, the trappings of their day-to-day lives and (perhaps most importantly) the impact these ancient people have had upon our contemporary culture, make it a point to register today this self-paced course on Ancient Civilizations.
Regardless of your age or historical expertise, you'll benefit from each of the course's seven comprehensive lessons. This class is perfect for school-age students looking for a classroom advantage or adult learners interested in buffing up on their history skills.
Whatever your age or motivation, there's no need to put your education on the back burner any longer. Class enrollment is open 24/7, so enroll today to get immersed in the mystery and magic of Ancient history’s most remarkable civilizations.
When you think of Ancient Egypt, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Chances are, the first thing you thought of were the pyramids. However, there's a whole lot more to Egyptian history than their architectural wonders.
The same holds true for the other four civilizations covered in this self-paced course on Ancient Civilizations as well. Across seven in-depth lessons, not only will you get familiar with ancient Egyptians, but the Sumerians, Ancient Chinese, the Ancient people of the Indus Valley and the pivotal history of the Mediterranean region’s Aegean civilizations.
The seven lessons crafted to initiate you into this ancient world of wonder include:
Lesson 1: The Study & Classification of Ancient Civilizations
Lesson 2: Ancient Egyptian Civilizations
Lesson 3: Sumerian Civilization
Lesson 4: Ancient China Civilizations
Lesson 5: Indus Valley Civilizations
Lesson 6: The Aegean Civilization
Lesson 7: What Should We Know? …which focuses on the contemporary impact of ancient civilizations)
By the time you've completed the coursework, you'll be able to confidently answer questions like:
-
What was the importance of the Nile River?
-
Who were the ancient Sumerians and where did they call "Home"?
-
What was the legendary First Dynasty?
-
Who were the Aryans?
-
Who were the Mycenaean people?
There are no prerequisite courses to take, any textbooks to buy or any software applications to invest in. All of the reading materials and reference links are provided for you at the end of each lesson. However, you should keep in mind that each of the lessons needs to be completed sequentially. You'll be barred access to Lesson 2 until you've first finished each component of Lesson 1, and so forth.
In order to help you chart your progress in the class, each lesson will incorporate either a written assignment or a quiz that will call on you to put the information covered into direct application. Once you’ve completed all seven lessons, a final exam will be given to review the most important highlights of the Ancient Civilizations covered.
In the end, not only will you have successfully passed the class and broadened your historical background knowledge, you'll also find yourself in a unique position to wow your friends, relatives and your colleagues with your newfound wisdom of the Earth's intriguing ancient civilizations and societies.
