Great Unknowns to Greece and Rome: Prehistory Through Ancient Rome

Join this riveting class of world history, as we survey the happenings between the very beginnings of history and the rise and fall of the enormous Roman Empire. What can we learn about prehistoric times from artifacts and art? What struggles does the archaeologist encounter as he attempts to decipher his findings? How did these early people survive? And how was it that the Egyptain empire thrived for so long? We will continue on to discuss the Greek civilization and its many and lasting contributions to our modern times. How did the Greeks influence our governments, as well as our architecture, music, and art? The Roman Empire was even further-reaching. We can still see remnants of their roads, buildings, and art today throughout West and Central Europe. These early empires were very advanced, but then something happened- and it all disappeared for a thousand years. It’s an exciting and thought-provoking story. Don’t miss it!
