MS World History


Course Description:
The Ancient World seems like a faraway time and place. Origins of humans, river civilizations, the Americas, the Greeks and Romans, India, China, Ancient Asia and Africa were very different places that left their mark on history. History is a journey back into time to reflect on these various contributions. The God revealed in Scripture stands outside of time and sees all things from an eternal perspective. He created all things good but human sin brought with it an emptiness that you will see reflected in all the cultures that this course looks at. As students read they will look for Him at work restoring His creation and stamping His image onto what humanity has created. In ancient Egypt students visit the pyramids and find out the secrets of preserving mummies. They see how the Mayans developed astronomy to a precise science. They even investigate the difference between the Athenians and the Spartans. Students will journey through India discovering their contributions to medicine, moving on to Africa to follow the rise and fall of the ancient east African kingdoms of Kush and Axum. Throughout the centuries, and still today, our world is made up of dozens of different cultures. They all are different, and they all have made big contributions to what we know and who we are.
