From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Ancient history is the study of the written past from the beginning of recorded human history in the Old World until the Early Middle Ages in Europe. The span of recorded history altogether is roughly 5,000 years, with Cuneiform script emerging from the protoliterate period around the 30th century BC being the oldest form of writing discovered so far. This is the beginning of history, as opposed to prehistory, according to the definition used by most historians. The term classical antiquity is often used to refer to ancient history since the beginning of recorded Greek history in about 776 BC (First Olympiad). This coincides, roughly, with the traditional date of the founding of Rome in 753 BC, the beginning of the history of ancient Rome. Although the ending date of ancient history is disputed, Western scholars use the fall of the Western Roman Empire in AD 476, or the death of the emperor Justinian I, or the coming of Islam and the rise of Charlemagne as the end of ancient European history. In India, the period includes the period of the Middle Kingdoms, and in China the time up to the Qin Dynasty. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Is it true that ancient celtic Pagans were a matriarchal society? Q. We've mostly lived in patriarchal societies where women are either "protected", dominated, or oppressed, but I have heard that before Jud-eo/Christian worship came about, that a lot of the ancient pagan religions actually revered women and respected them because they were the vessel of life. I heard this from someone, or read it. Is it true? Asked by Pleasantly Plain - Sun Dec 7 11:24:59 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. No they were not.

Q. What clues were left to us that ancient peoples held a belief in a spirit world that people inhabited after they died? Asked by mon - Sat Feb 7 10:42:44 2009 - - 12 Answers - 0 Comments A. Ancient people belived after you die you go to the afterlife. Some believe if you fight for your country you will go to paradise. Others think that too but they also think if you don't live a good life you would get punished in the afterlife. They showed this by burying their leaders, like the Egyptians, and putting all his gold and luxury around him. Hope this helps.
