Ancient History

Ancient History is the study of civilizations, events, and societies from the beginning of recorded human history through the post-classical era.

Historians explore major civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome, examining their contributions to modern society. A deep knowledge of ancient history enhances academic research, critical thinking, and historical preservation efforts.
