AncientWeb.org: The Ancient World’s Great Civilizations
ClickSchooling list member Olena recommended today’s website that provides
information about ancient cultures, specifically designed with students and
teachers in mind.
When you get to the site you will see some featured ancient cultures in the
center of the homepage. Click on the links, and you’ll find that some open
to pages providing a brief overview of a particular ancient culture, while
others open to new websites containing an array of multi-media content
including interactive maps and flash animations. Use the menu on the left
side of the home page to access all of the ancient cultures featured at this
site including those of:
- Arabia
- America
- Armenia
- Australia
- Canada
- Cambodia
- China
- Chile
- Egypt
- Ethiopia
- France
- Germany
- Greece
- India
- Ireland
- Israel
- Italy
- Mexico
- Persia
- Peru
- Poland
- Romania
- Scotland
- Spain
Again, this site provides a simple overview of some cultures, and more
in-depth info on others. Even the links leading to pages with less content
serve as great introductions that could springboard your child to further
independent investigation. You will also find recommended educational
resources (books, DVDs, etc.) for sale — but you are not obligated to
purchase a thing.
