THE ANCIENT WORLD

               THE ANCIENT WORLD 
              FROM PREHISTORIC TIME TO AD 500 

The vast period of time from 2.5 million years ago to AD 500 saw the appearance of the first human being and the creation of the first civilization. Our earliest ancestors appeared in Africa some 2.5 million years ago,having evolved from man -apes who came down from the trees and learned to walk upright on two legs.
OVER THOUSANDS OF YEARS,people learned how to make Fire to keep themselves warm and to cook their food,how to hunt,and how to make tools. The first ever metal tools and weapons were made in the near East about 7000 years ago

    Throughout the world,early people lived by hunting animal and gathering wild fruit, root, and nuts to eat. By 10,000 years ago, however, an extraordinary change was talking places. People learned how to grow their own crops on patches of land and to raise their own animal for food. For the first time in history, people began to build permanent home, followed by town and cities
"Making tools and build houses"

By about 5000bc,the world first civilization began to emerge along the bank of rivers where the land was extremely rich for farming. The sumerian,Assyrians,and Babylonians built magnificent cities and temples on the fertiles plain between the Tigris and Euphrates river. The ANCIENT Egyptian flourished along the river nile. By about 500bc, important civilization had also appeared in India,China, Persia, and in North and South America.

The great age of ancient Greece and Rome is known as the Classical Period. These two might civilization played a major role in shaping the modern world. From Greece came discoveries in politics, philosophy, and science.
