One reason to show that he was all about his fame is that he went out of his way 500 miles to Egypt to become pharaoh and conquer 3 of Egypt's…

Cuneiform and hieroglyphics: this was the first form of writing. It was a representation of speech. It allowed people to keep record like never before.

He showed how Alexander won every battle he founded and brought many good things to Greece. This enhanced my understanding of that theme because it helped…

Greek art is divided into several periods, starting with the earliest geometric paintings and ending with the lively, theatrical…

Democracy, mathematics, medicine, astronomy, and physics: These things would not be the same or perhaps even be non-existent entirely were it not for the Ancient Greeks. Geniuses ahead of their time, the Greeks took leaps in advancing culture and…
