beliefs, politics, etc. It can be done in organized sections by groups of civilizations (Egyptians, Sumerians,
Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, etc.) or by a list of different topics (vocabulary and expressions

philosophical thoughts, etc.). In other words, you will have to provide a list of main contributions,
influences and connections of the ancient civilizations covered in this class with the present world, and
