Innovation and Influence in Ancient and Modern Civilizations

Innovation and Influence, the first book of the series, presents learning experiences for students beginning with prehistoric times through Ancient Greek civilization. Each era made a significant impact on future societies. Neolithic towns were the first steps toward the development of major civilizations. The architectural arch of the Sumerians was improved upon by the Romans with the massive structures such as in The Colosseum and aqueducts that extended beyond its borders. The colossal statues sculpted by the Ancient Egyptians were further advanced by the Ancient Greeks when their statues were freed from a huge block of marble and displayed action. 
​
Not only did physical aspects of a culture influence subsequent societies, spiritual beliefs and traditions, they were re-imagined to suit their lifestyle. The myths of the Ancient Greeks were renamed and adapted to Roman culture. Beliefs in gods and goddesses that serve to protect and provide substance for their followers has been a tradition throughout the ages. In each culture, beliefs were influenced by preceding generations and reshaped to address the needs of the current society.
