While civilization covers the entire globe today, there was a time when it rose as isolated islets in a vast sea of barbarism. That is why the few cultures that were able to accomplish this feat have been the objects of scholarly scrutiny for generations. In Ancient Civilizations Uncovered we explore five ancient civilizations which have left an indelible mark on history. We approach these civilizations from a diverse array of perspectives and look at the factors which made them so successful. Finally, we examine their lingering effect on the civilizations of today.
