Ancient history is the study of past human events and activities from the beginning of recorded human history until the end of the ancient period, traditionally dated to the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 CE. It encompasses the study of the ancient Near East, Egypt, Greece, the Roman Empire, and other early civilizations around the Mediterranean, and even reaches beyond to cultures in East Asia, Africa, and the Americas. The origins of ancient history can be traced back to the origins of civilization and the emergence of civilizations during the Neolithic era. Ancient history encompasses a diverse array of social structures, religious traditions, governance systems, and legal codes. It is a complex and fascinating field that offers insight into the cultures and societies of the past, as well as the modern world.
