Ancient

Ancient history is the study of the written past from the beginning of recorded human history to the Early Middle Ages. The span of recorded history is roughly 5,000 years, with Cuneiform script, the oldest discovered form of coherent writing, from the protoliterate period around the 30th century BC. This is the beginning of history, as opposed to prehistory, according to the definition used by most historians.

The term classical antiquity is often used to refer to ancient history in the Old World since the beginning of recorded Greek history in 776 BC (First Olympiad). This roughly coincides with the traditional date of the founding of Rome in 753 BC, the beginning of the history of ancient Rome, and the beginning of the Archaic period in Ancient Greece. Although the ending date of ancient history is disputed, some Western scholars use the fall of the Western Roman Empire in AD 476, the closure of the Platonic Academy in 529 AD, the death of the emperor Justinian I, the coming of Islam or the rise of Charlemagne as the end of ancient and Classical European history.

In India, the period includes the early period of the Middle Kingdoms, and, in China, the time up to the Qin Dynasty is included.

What are some ancient theories about the earth?
Q. I am looking for some mainstream ancient ideas about the earth, not ones that Pythagoreas or Aristotle came up with because their ideas affected only a select few. (Most continued to believe that the earth is flat) An example would be that the earth is flat, and held up by 3 elephants. (I've heard that one somewhere.) Anything and everything is appreciated! Thank you!
Asked by Jenny O - Mon May 12 21:55:15 2008 - Earth Sciences & Geology - 3 Answers - Comments

A. People used to think that Earth was flat and not round and when you sail you would go off the end.
