Get ready to travel back in time with an Ancient History subscription!

Embark on an extraordinary time-traveling journey with the Jomon people of Stone Age Japan, some of the first people in the world to weave baskets and make pottery. From there, step into the world’s first true city: the Sumerian city of Uruk. Next, make your way to two bustling cities of the Indus Valley Civilization: Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. Marvel at the pyramids of Giza in Ancient Egypt and journey to meet Aboriginal Australians who will teach you about their millennia old traditions. You’ll return to Mesopotamia with a visit to Hammurabi’s court in Babylon and leap forward to an Egypt transformed where you will meet the controversial pharaoh Akhenaten and his famous son, Tutankhamun. Cross the ocean to drink chocolate with the Olmecs of ancient Mesoamerica. Get to know the Israelites and sail with Phoenician merchants across the Mediterranean. Ride alongside Scythian horse archers on the steppes of central Asia, go on campaign with Alexander the Great and study philosophy with Plato in the ancient Greek city of Athens. Meet Ashoka the Great, founder of the Mauryan Empire in India and Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi who united ancient China.  Discover why people loved and hated Julius Caesar and visit the Roman resort town of Pompeii in its final hours. Your journey concludes with a visit to the Ghana Empire in West Africa, a fitting end to your ancient history subscription adventure.

Along the way, you will make paper out of papyrus reeds, dye a backpack in royal purple, learn the art of gold leaf, play games, construct a mobile, make your own incense, weave a laurel wreath, and more! Subscribe today to bring hands-on history homeschool lessons to your doorstep.
