The ancient Western world was a world filled with awe and wonder. Never once was there ever a sense of doing something solely for the sake of doing it. During this time, anything that was done was done to the pleasure (or displeasure) of the gods. The gods were treated with the utmost respect in the ancient world. These ancient civilizations are so interesting to us because they are so different us. The way the members of the ancient West lived out their daily lives was quite different to how we…

She has lived in Georgia near the metro Atlanta area for almost two…
