Egyptian Customs and Beliefs. Ancient Egyptians believed that each person’s soul was immortal. In order for the soul to reach the afterlife a complex, traditional set of customs was required, sometimes ending with mummification. If these rites were not completed the dead would come back to haunt the living in the form of a ghost. In this episode, you will learn about burial customs and what they represented. The nine aspects of the soul. The use of shabti dolls to work for the god Osiris. And the different realms of the afterlife such as the Hall of Truth and the Field of Reeds.

Unit 7 - The Great Pyramid of Giza
The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were spectacles of construction, human creativity, and engineering on a scale that even the greatest minds of modern times would have difficultly reproducing today. These man made creations were all built sometime during the classical period and stretched across the existing known western-world at that time. Only one of the seven ancient wonders still exists today, and perhaps one of the most well-known ones at that, the Great Pyramid of Giza. From a time covering 2650 to the 3rd Century BC, these works of art scattered the landscapes for many reasons. Some were impressive tombs holding the remains of famous kings, colossal statues admiring supreme gods and others were simply to test the limits of what was humanly possible.

Unit 10 – The Lasting Legacy of the Greeks
It is difficult not to over exaggerate the influence that Ancient Greece had on the development of Western Civilization. Many Ancient Greek ideas have continued, practically unchanged, into the modern era. Areas such as literature and architecture would be unrecognizable without the Ancient Greeks. Their legacy has undoubtedly helped to shape the course of history. Important concepts that they left behind are their systems of government, culture and arts, and science and technology. The Ancient Greeks may have lived over 2000 years ago, but they are still with us today. During the pinnacle of the Greek civilization, Greek culture and ideas spread throughout the Mediterranean. It was first copied by the Ancient Romans and after the middle Ages, the European Renaissance rediscovered many features of Greek culture and used them in art and architecture.

The first dinosaurs lived on a large landmass called Pangaea and evolved from an earlier form of reptile named Chordates around 230 million years ago. All of the different continents on Earth were once connected so a dinosaur could walk from America all the way to Australia if it chose. Dinosaurs were all cold blood and like their reptile cousins, they have all the heat they need from the sun to warm their blood. The cold-blooded dinosaurs would lay their eggs and waited for their offspring to hatch and some of them may at this stage have been warm-blooded. Many dinosaurs were bigger than any of the animals we see today on earth. Some of the largest dinosaurs had over 1,000 trillion cells, like the Ultrasaurus. To put it in perspective we as humans have only 70 trillion cells. These huge animals could have weighed up to 50 tons, which is the same as a fully loaded truck. Then, there were other smaller dinosaurs, even smaller than a chicken and some could even fly and had feathers.

Ancient Rome has had a large influence on the modern world. Though it has been thousands of years since the Roman Empire prospered, we can still see evidence of their culture in our art, architecture, technology, literature, language, law, and religion. As a result, the ancient Romans have forever left their mark on our world. At its essence, Roman culture symbolized power, loyalty, and tradition that were so greatly prized in Roman society. Because the Romans cooperated with the Greeks from the earliest days of their history, the Romans also used certain Greek ideas and transformed them to suit Roman society. The result was an empire and a culture that combined the Roman, no-nonsense approach, with elements of Greek beauty and style. It is due to that unique mixture of strength and splendor that Roman culture continues to inspire and intrigue us today.
