Encyclopedia of Society and Culture in the Ancient World
The story of the ancient world spans the globe and covers vast amounts of time. It is the largely overlooked story of the tremendous diversity in human experience, ranging from the ice age societies whose way of life is so remote from ours to the citizens of Greece and Rome whom we easily recognize from history books.
During the 2 million years since we became human, members of our species have settled every corner of the earth and organized their lives in countless different ways. The articles in this encyclopedia will provide you with an overview of the various ways in which people lived in the past and point to sources where you can find more information about the topics that interest you.
To learn about the modern world, all we have to do is look around, travel, read, or watch a video about what we cannot see. But we cannot travel back in time to see what life was like several thousand or several hundred thousand years ago.
We cannot hear an ancient Roman speak, nor can we meet a Stone Age hunter in Siberia. We have to rely on researchers to piece together many different bits of evidence to come up with a picture of past life. A lot of the pieces are missing.
Many people say that it is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle, but it is a puzzle in which most of the pieces are missing and, worse, there is no picture on the box.
