Ancient History is the period bridging Pre-History and Antiquity. The Timeline begins with the advent of writing and the invention of the wheel, two technological innovations that will allow for increases in communication, construction, and warfare. The Pre-History age of hunting/gathering ends as settled villages form into city-states that form into great empires, and intellectual/technological/political progress gains a momentum that will propel the peoples of the world into the cultural flowering of Antiquity.
