Ancient Civilizations: Ancient Persia

1. Add the location of ancient Persia before it became an empire on your map.
I drew Persia on my map of the world.

2. Draw a timeline that depicts an important person, place or thing of each 
of the periods listed below:
3200B.C. - Sumerians settle in Mesopotamia

2686B.C. - 1090 B.C. Ancient Egyptian civilization

1792B.C. - Hammurabi unites Mesopotamia

1290 B.C. - Hebrews exodus from Egypt

1200 B.C. - Iron Age begins

549 B.C. - Persian empire established


Here is my pictoral timeline:


3. Look for pictures of ancient Persian reliefs and metal work. Notice the stylized appearance of the people. Draw a picture in this style of a person doing something.

Here is my profile rock relief of a woman with a spool of yarn.
