Civilizations in the news

As we explore ancient civilizations we should start to see patterns of human behaviour and development repeat themselves.  Keeping in mind the course themes of Beliefs and Values, Daily Life and Power and Authority search the news for items that link to ancient civilizations.

Make a comment that includes:

• a link to your news item
• a summary of your news item
• a description of how it links to ancient civilizations and fits the course themes

Think big picture.  For example a news item on the border crossing between Mexico and the United States such as this can be linked to the building of protective walls throughout civilizations such as Hadrian's Wall or the Great Wall of China.
