Our main focus this year was world history, which we started with ancient civilizations. I read many books and passages, like the Epic of Gilgamesh, The Bronze Bow, The Meditations, The Symposium, The Song of Achillies, Cathrine Called Birdie, The Trial of Joan of Ark, The Prince, and Luther's 95 theses. Through these, I was able to explore history through the purest lense.
After reading The Epic of Gilgamesh and The Bronze Bow, I was pretty familiar with the first civilizations on Earth. The essay below is a short comparative piece on the Mesopotamian and Ancient Egyptian Civilizations.
