Overview

You might suppose that what happened in the ancient past has no impact on your life today. Think again! Many things we use, eat, and wear today have stories that trace back to ancient civilizations. We can, for example, look to the past to see a model for many modern governments and to find forerunners of everyday items such as socks, toothbrushes, and makeup. Learn why you should care about history and get a fresh look at the world today by knowing the ideas, discoveries, and inventions of the distant past.
