What Western Civilization Means on This Exam
Captions available
The idea
The exam gives Western civilization thirteen to fifteen percent, from ancient western Asia and Egypt through Greece, Rome and medieval Europe to the present. This unit ends at the Renaissance's doorstep.
In practice
Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Church, the towns, in that order.
Where people slip
The anchor begins in Mesopotamia on purpose: the Greeks did not invent civilization.
