    Study Notes

    History of Ancient Civilizations

    Ancient history covers a vast period ranging from the beginning of recorded human history up until around 5th Century CE, including cultures such as Sumerians, Egypt, Babylon, Assyrians, Persia, Greeks, Romans, Celts, Etruscans, Carthorse, Phoenicians, Minoans, Mycenaeans, and Hittites. Each civilization contributed significantly to our understanding of human development through their advancements in art, architecture, religion, politics, economics, technology, agriculture, law, and warfare.

    Early Cultures

    The Sumerians were one of the first known writing peoples who lived along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers between 3000 BCE and 2000 BCE. Their civilizations included Hammurabi's Code which was created more than four thousand years ago in 1792 BC. Egyptian civilization followed with hieroglyphic writings and pharaohs ruling over the Nile Valley. This led to monumental constructions like pyramids and sphinxes.

    Babylonia also played a role during this time, located near present-day Baghdad. As part of their culture, they used astronomy for religious purposes by predicting celestial events to calculate when to plant crops.

    Greek and Roman Empires

    Greece later emerged as another prominent culture with significant contributions to philosophy, science, literature, and sports. The Olympic Games originated here while democracy became prevalent among citizens leading to direct participation in government affairs. The Spartans stood out for their rigorous military training and strict discipline within their society.

    Rome came into power after conquering Greece; its influence extended beyond Europe through trade routes reaching Asia Minor, North Africa, western and central Europe, Britain, and northern France. Rome introduced urban planning principles like aqueducts and public baths which had lasting impacts on European cities even till today.

    In summary, each civilization made unique strides forward despite geographical differences and limitations. They left behind legacies that continue shaping modern societies worldwide —from technological innovation to cultural practices— demonstrating how far humans have come since early beginnings.
