It lists the participating students and their schools. It then outlines the learning objectives and provides some background information about the key aspects and developments of these ancient civilizations.
The document discusses aspects of ancient Greek civilization such as their education system, social structure, and government. In Athens, boys were educated at home until age 6-7 and then attended private schools, where they learned reading, writing, math, music, poetry, and sports. The education system emphasized developing students' physical and intellectual abilities. Athens also had a direct democracy where male citizens could participate in governing through an open assembly and council. Sparta focused on rigorous military training for boys from age 7 and physical education for girls. The Parthenon and other structures on the Acropolis were notable achievements in architecture. The Olympic Games held every four years featured athletic competitions and helped spread Greek culture.
The document summarizes early Chinese civilization from around 1750 BC to 200 BC. It describes the geography of China and how mountains and rivers shaped development. The first dynasty was the Shang, which built cities like Anyang. Later, the Zhou dynasty overthrew the Shang and divided China into territories ruled by aristocrats. During this period, philosophers like Confucius and Laozi developed systems of thought that emphasized social harmony. Society was organized into classes like aristocrats, farmers, and merchants.
The First Empires
- Sargon of Akkad defeated the Sumerian city-states and formed the first empire, uniting Akkad and Sumer under his rule in the 23rd century BC.
- Hammurabi conquered many Amorite cities and formed the Babylonian Empire in the 18th century BC. He established one of the earliest codes of law.
- The Assyrians built a powerful iron-armed army that took over Mesopotamia around 900 BC, forming the Assyrian Empire that lasted about 300 years.
Around 5,000 years ago, urban societies established the foundations of early civilizations across core regions like Mesopotamia and India. These civilizations developed complex institutions, long-distance trade, and intensified economic exchange. Competition for resources led to increased social hierarchies, government and religious complexity, and warfare. New weapons like iron and transportation technologies like chariots and horseback riding created military advantages. Around this time, religious beliefs also diversified with the emergence of Hinduism, Hebrew monotheism, and Zoroastrianism. Trade expanded from local to regional to transregional as civilizations exchanged goods and resources over large distances.
Classical civilizations such as Greece and Rome made many contributions. In Greece, Athens and Sparta developed different forms of government - Athens becoming a direct democracy while Sparta formed an oligarchy. Greek culture spread during the Hellenistic period after the conquests of Alexander the Great. Rome grew to become a vast empire through its military strength and establishment of roads, with Latin becoming a dominant language across its territories.
Ancient Greece discusses daily life, government, and notable figures of Athens and Sparta. In Athens, boys attended school while women helped at home. Athenian democracy allowed male citizens to vote, while Sparta had an oligarchy ruled by kings and elders. The document also profiles Alexander the Great and his vast empire, and provides details on philosophers like Socrates and the Olympic games.

Finally, it characterizes the Ancient, Medieval and Modern periods of civilization in terms of political structures, religions, arts, sciences and technologies.
The ancient Greeks developed a highly advanced civilization around 4,000 years ago. They invented democracy, theater, and the Olympics. Two early civilizations that influenced Greek culture were the Minoans on Crete and the Mycenaeans on the Greek peninsula. During the Greek Dark Ages, the Dorians invaded and Greek culture declined until the rise of independent city-states like Athens and Sparta. Athens was known for its arts and sciences while Sparta focused on military strength.
The cradle of civilization is a term referring to locations where, according to current archaeological data, civilization is understood to have emerged.
Current thinking is that there was no single "cradle", but several civilizations that developed independently; with the Fertile Crescent, Mesopotamia and Egypt, understood to be the earliest.
The document discusses the 10 oldest civilizations in the world. It begins by defining civilization as an advanced stage of social development and organization reached by a society.

Trusted Execution Environment for Decentralized Process MiningLucaBarbaro3
Presentation of the paper "Trusted Execution Environment for Decentralized Process Mining" given during the CAiSE 2024 Conference in Cyprus on June 7, 2024.
18. Hellenistic civilization thus represents a fusion of the Ancient Greek world with that of Asia, and a departure from the traditional Greek attitude to "barbarian" cultures. The extent to which a genuinely hybrid Greco-Asian cultures emerged is contentious; consensus tends to point towards pragmatic cultural adaptation by the elites of society; for the mass of the population, life would probably have continued much as before [1] .
19. During the Hellenistic period the importance of Greece proper within the Greek-speaking world declined sharply. The great centers of Hellenistic culture were Alexandria and Antioch , capitals of Ptolemaic Egypt and Seleucid Syria respectively. Cities such as Pergamon , Ephesus , Rhodes and Seleucia were also important, and increasing urbanization of the Eastern Mediterranean was characteristic of the time.
20. Hellenistic culture . The name derives from the fact that Greek culture spread throughout the area in the last 3 centuries before the common era. In the Hellenistic period, It was in the cities that the descendants of the Greco-Macedonian conquerors became a professional class of rulers and soldiers and merchants, which provided a cultural and economic bond throughout the area, even though political unity did not survive the death of Alexander. As the administrators and the merchants of their world, in spite of being in the minority, they had an influence out of proportion to their numbers. The city of Alexandria, founded by Alexander, located on the Mediterranean at the mouth of the Nile, became the most prominent center of commerce and learning. The library in Alexandria became the depository for recording many of the literary and scientific achievements of the time. Although women continued to have a subordinate status, some lucky few of the wealthy and ruling classes, would have the opportunity to become involved in commerce or in intellectual activities. For the most part, however, women had no part in public life. Slavery, which had been a commonly accepted practice throughout the history of ancient civilization, remained a prominent part of Hellenistic culture.

25. The Iliad ( Greek : Ἰλιάς [iliás] (Ancient), Ιλιάδα [ili'aða] (Modern)) is, together with the Odyssey , one of two ancient Greek epic poems traditionally attributed to Homer . However, the claim of a single author is disputed, as the poems show evidence of a long oral tradition and hence, possible multiple authors. Many scholars believe the poem to be the oldest extant work of literature in the ancient Greek language. The poem concerns events during the tenth and final year of the Trojan War , the siege of the city of Ilion or Troy, by the Greeks . The plot centers on the Greek warrior Achilles and his anger toward the king of Mycenae , Agamemnon , which proves disastrous for the Greeks. [2] It provides many of the events that the later poems of the Epic Cycle build on, including the death of the Trojan captain Hector . Written in dactylic hexameter , the Iliad comprises 15,693 lines of verse. Later ancient Greeks divided it into twenty-four books or scrolls, a convention that has lasted to the present day with little change. The word Iliad means "pertaining to Ilios " (in Latin , Ilium ), the city proper, as opposed to Troy (in Greek , Τροία, Troía ; in Latin , Troia, Troiae, f. , in Turkish Truva ), the state centered around Ilium.
26. Boys were taught at home by their mothers until they were 6 or 7 years old. In Athens the education was left up to the father. Students were taught by private schoolmasters. The boys from wealthy families were taken to school by a trusted slave. The students learned to write on wax-covered tablets with a stylus. Books were very expensive, so they were rare. The students in Athens learned to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. They also learned about fractions. Students learned the words of Homer and how to play the lyre. Boys were trained in sports. Wealthy children learned to ride horseback. Other sports included wrestling, using a bow and a sling, and swimming. At age 14 boys attended a higher school for four more years. At age 18 boys went to military school. They graduated at age 20. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
27. Spartan Schools When babies were born in Sparta, Spartan soldiers would come by the house to examine them. If the baby did not look healthy , it was taken away and left to die or trained as a slave. If the baby was healthy , it was assigned membership in a brotherhood or sisterhood. The boys in Sparta were sent to military camps of their brotherhood when they turned 7 . They learned how to read and write until they were about 14 . The Spartan government wanted to make the boys tough. To do this they were given little clothing and no shoes. They slept on hard beds made of reeds and were not given any covers. They were not given enough food. They were trained in survival skills and how to be a good soldier. Reading and writing were taught as secondary skills. Between ages 18 to 20 each boy had to pass a fitness test. If he did not pass the test, he became a perioidos. This was a person of middle class who had no political rights and was not even considered a citizen . If the boy passed he served in the military and continued to train as a soldier. Military service lasted until the boy reached age 60 . The girls were trained in the school of their sisterhood. They were taught physical education . Classes include wrestling, gymnastics, and combat training. The Spartans wanted girls to be strong so that they would have healthy children. At age 18 the Spartan girl had to pass a fitness test. She was then assigned a husband and allowed to return home. If she failed the test, she became a perioikos.
33. The most famous games held at Olympia , South- West of Greece, which took place every four years. The ancient Olympics seem to have begun in the early 700 BC, in honour of Zeus . No women were allowed to watch the games and only Greek nationals could participate. One of the ancient wonders was a statue of Zeus at Olympia, made of gold and ivory by a Greek sculptor Pheidias. This was placed inside a Temple, although it was a towering 42 feet high. The games at Olympia were greatly expanded from a one-day festival of athletics and wrestling to, in 472 BC, five days with many events. The order of the events is not precisely known, but the first day of the festival was devoted to sacrifices. On the Middle Day of the festival 100 oxen were sacrificed in honor of a God. Athletes also often prayed and made small sacrifices themselves.. On the second day , the foot-race, the main event of the games, took place in the stadium, an oblong area enclosed by sloping banks of earth. At Olympia there were 4 different types of races; The first was stadion, the oldest event of the Games, where runners sprinted for 1 stade, the length of the stadium(192m). The other races were a 2-stade race (384 m.), and a long-distance run which ranged from 7 to 24 stades (1,344 m. to 4,608 m.).The fourth type of race involved runners wearing full amor, which was 2-4 stade race (384 m. to 768 m.), used to build up speed and stamina for military purposes. On other days, wrestling, boxing, and the pancratium, a combination of the two, were held. In wrestling, the aim was to throw the opponent to the ground three times, on either his hip, back or shoulder. In ancient Greek wrestling biting and genital holds were illegal.
34. Boxing became more and more brutal ; at first the pugilists wound straps of soft leather over their fingers as a means of deadening the blows, but in later times hard leather, sometimes weighted with metal, was used. In the pancratium, the most rigorous of the sports, the contest continued until one or the other of the participants acknowledged defeat. Horse-racing , in which each entrant owned his horse, was confined to the wealthy but was nevertheless a popular attraction. The course was 6 laps of the track, with separate races for whereupon the rider would have no stirrups. It was only wealthy people that could pay for such training, equipment, and feed of both the rider and the horses. So whichever horse won it was not the rider who was awarded the Olive wreath but the owner. There were also Chariot races, that consisted of both 2-horse and 4-horse chariot races, with separate races for chariots drawn by foals. There was also a race was between carts drawn by a team of 2 mules, which was 12 laps of the stadium track.
57. If you had lived in ancient times, you could have applied to become a Roman citizen. Not everyone who applied was accepted, but anyone could apply. Would you have wanted to become a Roman citizen? You might have. The ancient Romans invented more games than any other ancient civilization. The ancient Romans were very different from the ancient Greeks. The ancient Romans were down-to-earth realists , not idealists. You can see this in their statues. The Greeks made statues of perfect people. The Romans created real life statues. A statue of one of the Roman emperors is a good example. His nose is huge! The ancient Greeks would never have done that. The Romans were fierce soldiers and wonderful builders . They built roads all over the empire, and all roads led to Rome. The ancient Greeks had roads, but they were not built nearly as well, and the Greek's roads did not connect in any particular order. Connect to what? Each Greek city-state was its own unit. In ancient Rome, Rome was the heart of the empire!
70. ASHOKA The Kalinga War a Change of Heart During Ashoka's grandfather's time the Kalinga army had only 60,000 infantry, 1,000 cavalry and 700 elephants. During Bindusara's reign and at the beginning of Ashoka's reign Kalinga must have improved its armed forces considerably. The mighty Magadha army marched towards Kalinga. Ashoka himself went at the head of his vast army. The Kalinga army resisted the Magadha army and fought bravely. They were not afraid even of death. But their valor and sacrifices were in vain. Every thinner and finally it accepted defeat. Ashoka won a glorious victory. 'What Have I done! True, Ashoka was victorious and Kalinga was his. What was the price of this victory? One of Ashoka's own inscriptions describes it: One and a half people were taken prisoners. A lake was killed during the battle. Many more died as a result of the war.' Ashoka who led the army saw the battlefield with his own eyes. As far as his eye could see he saw only the corpses of elephants and horses, and the limbs of soldiers killed in the battle. There were streams of blood. Soldiers were rolling on the ground in unbearable pain. There were orphaned children. And eagles flew about to feast on the dead bodies. Not one or two but hundreds of terrible sights greeted Ashoka's eyes. His heart was broken with grief and shame. He felt unhappy over the victory, which he had won at the cost of so much suffering. 'What a dreadful deed have I done! I was the head of a vast empire, but I longed to subjugate a small kingdom and caused the death of thousands of soldiers; I widowed thousands of women and orphaned thousands of children. With these oppressive thoughts in his minds he could not stay there any longer. He led his army back towards Pataliputra with a heavy heart.
