If a person wants to go into greater detail on any specific civilization, such as gaining an increased understanding of Egypt, Rome, or Greece other courses are available, but that is not the purpose for this course. ![]() Consequently, this is a course that provides the potential student with a very general overview of world history for about 4,000 years. The course covers what historians know about civilization from its beginning in the land between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers, where the Sumerians first appeared around 3100 B.C., and ends in Europe at the close of the reign of Charlemagne in 814 A.D. The overall scope of the course discusses the emergence and progression of the more prominent civilizations in the ancient world which includes the areas around Mesopotamia, India, China, Greece, the Mediterranean, and ancient North and South America (particularly Mexico and Peru). Aldrete was, in my opinion, a very enlightening, although daunting, course which totaled 48 lectures.
