This is an Ancient World Time Chart showing the cultures of Mesopotamia, Egypt, The Aegaeans, and the Greeks rising in bubbles from the ancient river of history (or The Flood). Each cultural bubble provides the key people groups, main historical characters, and relevant years in the historical timeline. The organization of the cultures helps students visualize and compartmentalize who did what and when, and yet it also shows the overlap, influence, and coexistence of each culture in the Ancient Western World. This is the first chart of a four-part series. ~ John Knox
