LIST THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE FF:
STONE AGE - The Stone Age began about 2.6 million years ago, when researchers
found the earliest evidence of humans using stone tools, and lasted until about 3,300
B.C. when the Bronze Age began. It is typically broken into three distinct periods:
the Paleolithic Period, Mesolithic Period and Neolithic Period.
BRONZE AGE - In the Middle East and parts of Asia, the Bronze Age lasted from
roughly 3300 to 1200 B.C., ending abruptly with the near-simultaneous collapse of
several prominent Bronze Age civilizations. The beginning of the Bronze Age is
sometimes called the Chalcolithic (Copper-Stone) Age, referring to the initial use of pure
copper. Scarce at first, copper was initially used only for small or precious objects. Its
use was known in eastern Anatolia by 6500 BCE, and it soon became widespread.
ANCIENT CIVILIZATION - Ancient history covers all continents inhabited by humans in
the period 3000 BC – AD 650. The three-age system periodizes ancient history into the
Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age, with recorded history generally
considered to begin with the Bronze Age.
( SUMMERIAN - Known for their innovations in language, governance, architecture and
more, Sumerians are considered the creators of civilization as modern humans
understand it. Their control of the region lasted for short of 2,000 years before the
Babylonians took charge in 2004 B.C. The major periods in Sumerian history were the
Ubaid period (6500-4100 BCE), the Uruk period (4100-2900 BCE), the Early Dynastic
period (2900-2334 BCE), the Akkadian Empire period (2334 – 2218 BCE), the Gutian
period (2218-2047 BCE), Sumerian Renaissance/Third Dynasty of Ur (2047-1940 BCE),
and then decline.
BABYLONIAN - Babylonia (/ˌbæbɪˈloʊniə/; Akkadian: 𒆳𒆍𒀭𒊏𒆠, māt Akkadī) was an
ancient Akkadian-speaking state and cultural area based in the city of Babylon in
central-southern Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq and parts of Syria). It emerged as an
Amorite-ruled state c. 1894 BC. The Babylonians used the innovations of the
Sumerians, added to them, and built an empire that gave the world, among other things,
codified laws, a tower that soared above the earth, and one of the Seven Wonders of
the World. Geographically, the empire of Babylonia occupied the middle and southern
part of Mesopotamia.
EGYPTIAN- The history of ancient Egypt is divided into three main periods: the Old
Kingdom (about 2,700-2,200 B.C.E.), the Middle Kingdom (2,050-1,800 B.C.E.), and the
New Kingdom (about 1,550-1,100 B.C.E.). The New Kingdom was followed by a period
called the Late New Kingdom, which lasted to about 343 B.C.E. Egypt attained its first
sustained peak of civilization during the Old Kingdom, the first of three so-called
"Kingdom" periods (followed by the Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom), which mark
the high points of civilization in the lower Nile Valley.
GREEK - Ancient Greek civilization flourished from the period following Mycenaean
civilization, which ended about 1200 BCE, to the death of Alexander the Great, in 323
BCE. By that time, Greek cultural influence had spread around the Mediterranean and,
through Alexander the Great's campaign of conquest, as far afield as India.
ROMAN - A people known for their military, political, and social institutions, the ancient
Romans conquered vast amounts of land in Europe and northern Africa, built roads and
aqueducts, and spread Latin, their language, far and wide. From its founding in 625 BC
to its fall in AD 476, the Roman Empire conquered and integrated dozens of cultures.
The influence of these cultures can be seen in objects, such as oil lamps, made and
used throughout the Empire.
PERSIAN - n the context of biblical studies, the term “Persian period” is usually taken to
refer to the time when the Ancient Persians were in power throughout the Near East.
The Persians were the first people to establish regular routes of communication
between three continents—Africa, Asia and Europe. They built many new roads and
developed the world's first postal service.
INDIAN - The Gupta Period:
The period between 300 A.D to 500 A.D was one of the unequalled excellence in terms
of noted achievements in various walks of life. 'RomiIa Thapar' rightly observes the
'Gupta period' as the 'Classical Age' of ancient India. Sedentariness began in South
Asia around 7000 BCE; by 4500 BCE, settled life had increasingly spread, and
gradually evolved into the Indus Valley civilisation, which flourished between 2500 BCE
and 1900 BCE in present-day Pakistan and north-western India.
CHINESE - Legends claim that the earliest rulers in China were the Xia Dynasty,
from 2100 to 1600 B.C., with Yu as the first emperor, but there is little proof that the
dynasty actually existed. Below is a timeline of one of the great cradles of civilization.
MIDDLE AGES - The medieval era, often called The Middle Ages or the Dark Ages,
began around 476 A.D. following a great loss of power throughout Europe by the
Roman Emperor. The Middle Ages span roughly 1,000 years, ending between 1400 and
1450. The period of time is called the "Middle Ages" because it took place between the
fall of Rome and early modern Europe, and it is often separated into the Early Middle
Ages, the High Middle Ages, and the Late Middle Ages.
RENNAISANCE PERIOD - The Renaissance was a fervent period of European cultural,
artistic, political and economic “rebirth” following the Middle Ages. Generally described
as taking place from the 14th century to the 17th century, the Renaissance promoted
the rediscovery of classical philosophy, literature and art. The Renaissance saw many
contributions to different fields, including new scientific laws, new forms of art and
architecture, and new religious and political ideas.
MODERN ERA/ MODERN AGE - The Modern Era, also known as the Modern Age or
Modern Period, was a historical time period that spanned the years 1500 to 1945. The
Modern Era occurred following the Middle Ages and can be further divided into two time
periods: the Early Modern Period and the Late Modern Period. Some schools of thought
hold that modernity ended in the late 20th century – in the 1980s or early 1990s – and
that it was replaced by postmodernity, and still others would extend modernity to cover
the developments denoted by postmodernity, while some believe that modernity ended
sometime after World War II.
