The scope of this book focuses on Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean regions due to the volume of information covered. However, we explore other ancient civilizations around the world in other books.

Within this full-year course, our reading book, workbook, and journal follow the same topics and are intended to complement each other. Students can also use the internet, library books, and videos to assist in their research.

We provide several valuable additional free resources:

• Parent-Teacher Guide (includes answers to workbook questions)
• Bibliography with additional references
• Color images with citations
• Glossary
• Fill In Timeline
• Timeline solutions

This book contains black and white line drawings of the color images provided as a free download. Many images are either photographs of actual artifacts or drawings or paintings of actual artifacts. As a result, some of these images are anatomically correct. Please consider this when choosing to purchase this product.

The target age of this book is 10 and up. However it is meant to be read and enjoyed as a family. Some of the reading material may be challenging for students. It is recommended, as with all of our educational resources, that parents be on-hand to provide support and assistance whenever necessary. Our extensive additional resources, such as the glossary, index, and audiobook version of the text are also there to help.

Ancient Civilizations of the world is a neutral homeschool curriculum, meaning it does not present religious beliefs or texts as historically factual accounts. Rather, it references them as another source or perspective to be considered.
