Down the ages: Part 1
When we talk of civilisation, we mean the level of development at which people live together peacefully in communities. Ancient civilisation refers specifically to the first settled and stable communities that became the basis for later states, nations, and empires.
The single, decisive factor that made it possible for humankind to settle in permanent communities was agriculture.
Civilisations can be broadly classified as the Prehistoric Age, Ancient Age, Middle Age, Modern Age, Contemporary Age and the XX and XXI Centuries.
Now try and match the pictures depicting the era with their identities.
