The Ancient Near East

History, as the name implies, is a story, and history, at its best, is the most engaging and exhilarating story. As a story told about the past, the study of history contains meaningful insights about the present; insights that, if properly presented, should inspire students to make better choices in the future. Thus, the study of history holds a particularly important role in classical education, for history class offers the very best examples of human achievement for students to study and to help form their character for the better. Classical education takes students through the great books, so those great students can take on the whole world. We designed the Thales Canon with this singular goal in mind. The Thales Canon is a history book designed for classical schools in Junior High. This reader covers the very beginnings of history and covers the great civilizations of the ancient Near East from the years 4,000 BC to 480 BC and includes units on ancient Sumer, Old, Middle, and New Kingdom Egypt, the Phoenicians, the Israelites, the Neo-Assyrians, Neo-Babylonians, and the Persian Empire under Cyrus the Great and Darius the Great. Each chapter includes glossed vocabulary words, maps, artwork, and other beautiful photographs, along with reading comprehension questions.
