When you stroll through an art museum viewing the masterpieces of previous time periods, what’s going through your mind? Do you marvel at how impressive the paintings were from times before photographs and the internet were available?

If all roads lead to Rome, then all memes lead to... this list? At least if we're talking about Roman memes! From actual historical classic to a meme classic, Roman culture always had many fans and admirers. With such iconic figures as Julius Caesar, infamous warfare tactics like the testudo formation, and the rapid expansion of the Roman Empire (Roma invicta, right?), it's no surprise that this ancient civilization still inspires many people to this day. Although, in slightly different form than essays, poems, plays and histories.

Few people in the ancient world could read or write. Even many kings and emperors needed to employ special scribes to make records of their orders and achievements. Unsurprisingly, then, libraries were few on the ground. But those libraries that did exist were often magnificent. Rulers used them to showcase…

Chapter 3 - The First Writing, Story of The World Today we read chapter 3 which was a short chapter on the earliest people to use writings, i.e. the Egyptians and Sumerians. The girls then cut out the relevant lapbooking piece from The Chronicles of the Earth blog. They had to write something in both hieroglyphs and cuneiform into a little fold over matchbook. I printed out the heiroglyph alphabet from here Heiroglyph Chart and each girl then wrote something for the other person to decipher into their lapbook insert. I hadn't set out for them to do that but they started to try and guess what each other was writing which turned into a bit of fun. Then we logged onto Penn Museum's site where they could type in their name and see their monogram in cuneiform. It does say that it is Babylonian cuneiform and we were studying Mesopotamia, so am not sure how close this cuneiform (funnily enough it just doesn't happen to be an area of my expertise) is to being the right one for us but never the less we used it. The girls then copied their initials onto their lapbook insert. They loved this so much that they sat typing carious members of the family into it to work out who had the longest and hardest name to write. Lastly I set them up outside (in the wind, hence the hoody!) to avoid a mess of clay everywhere, to carve some more hieroglyphs into clay. They quite enjoyed this. The Fashionista told me that she has written the letter "L" in hieroglyphs so often, that she now knows it by heart. Of course both girls ended up writing about their GOATS! As always anything to do with Egypt is such fun. Why wasn't history more fun when I was a girl? It was all about facts and dates which I could never remember or probably wanted to!
The Irish Celts were a fierce people who called themselves Gaels and had the longest Celtic history in the British Isles.
