Civilisations & Empires : a chronological microguide

The micro-guide follows world history in chronological order—from the rise of the Sumerian civilization, through the Maya culture, the Roman Empire, and the Safavid Empire, up to today’s United States, which still plays a central role in global politics. When and how did these eras emerge, and what characterized them? You will find answers to these questions, along with an overview of influential religious leaders whose ideas have shaped our world, both culturally and historically.
