Social Studies

139 The Ancient World

Grade 12 6 periods 1 credit

The Ancient World is an upper level social studies elective which will prepare students for the commonly required first year college course in World Civilizations. It is a survey of the major themes of human history from earliest times up until the discovery of the Americas and the rise of our current western civilization in 1500. How do archaeologists piece together history before the invention of writing? When, where, and why did people settle down, build cities and temples, invent writing and create religions? How did empires gain and maintain power over their neighbors? What role did trade and the spread of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, play in uniting Eurasia? Follow the paths of armies, traders, monks, goods, ideas, and diseases as they formed the world that Columbus left when he sailed from Spain in 1492.

We'd love to hear from you.
