Ancient History: Egypt, Greece & the Roman Empire
© 2003 Teaching for Thinking
Three ancient civilizations are explained by folks that were there -- Nefertiti (for ancient Egypt), Archimedes (ancient Greece) and Cleopatra (Rome). From the clean main menu, you click a character to see a table of contents, covering the art, food, science and key events for each empire. For example, in "Looking Sharp: Fashions in Ancient Egypt" Nefertiti talks about the invention of silk, and how great this new material is for making royal clothes. The content is top quality, and the table of contents makes it easy to jump to any topic. Also noteworthy are the numerous links to related websites. All in all, this is an excellent teacher resource, either for whole group demonstration or for small group research. Note that this CD was adapted from a CD-ROM set, Word History: A Comparative Civilizations Perspective.
