ANCIENCT HISTORY

Ancient history began more than four thousand years ago, when people invented writing. During this time, the first civilisations developed in countries such as: Greece, Egypt, China and Mexico.

People in these first civilisations lived together in communities and didn´t have to move from place to place to find food aand shelter. This meant that they had time to build cities with public and private buildings, write laws, develop skills and have jobs. 

Civilisation: (noun) a society that shares the same culture and institutions.

One of the most important civilisations in ancient history was the Roman Civilisation. Roman territory was called the Roman Empire and the capital of the Roman Empire was Rome.
