We begin with a review of the ages, prehistory and the beginning of civilizations. We then travel through the events and brilliance of classical civilizations and their contributions to the human race. Then, just as a pendulum swings, human kind seems to move backward into the Dark Ages only to be reborn during the Renaissance. Humans then take this new (yet old) and shared knowledge and use to to travel the world and discover new lands, peoples, resources, and opportunities. We fight in wars, fall and conquer, become united nations and break into individual nations all to share this tiny planet we call Earth! It a roller coaster of a journey through time and connections but it is interesting, enlightening, provides the basis of knowledge to understand our world and the people in it!
