This course takes you into the fascinating world of ruins, artifacts, and ancient discoveries, showing how History, World History, International Relations, and Geography are revealed through archaeology. From forgotten cities to hidden tombs, archaeology connects us directly to the civilizations that shaped human progress.

Unlike traditional programs, this one is low commitment. It is designed for learners of all levels, with short, engaging modules that make it easy to study alongside work or personal life.

If you want to experience the unique blend of History, World History, International Relations, and Geography through archaeology, this is your only chance.

Description

Archaeology is the science of digging into the past, but it’s also the heart of understanding History and World History. Every artifact, every excavation site, every buried ruin tells a story about how people lived, traded, worshiped, and governed.

This course begins with the fundamentals: how archaeology supports the study of History. You’ll learn about excavation techniques, dating methods, and how archaeologists reconstruct daily life from material remains. These tools allow us to piece together the puzzle of World History, International Relations, and Geography.

You’ll then explore famous archaeological discoveries that changed our understanding of History:

The Rosetta Stone, which unlocked the secrets of Egyptian writing and reshaped our view of World History.

The ruins of Pompeii, frozen in time, providing unmatched insight into Roman society and Geography.

The Terracotta Army of China, which revealed the power of emperors and the scale of ancient International Relations.

The Great Zimbabwe ruins, proving the advanced urban planning of African civilizations within World History.

Archaeology also connects directly to International Relations. Ancient treaties, trade networks, and cultural exchanges are uncovered through artifacts. Pottery, coins, weapons, and maps tell us how states interacted and how Geography influenced diplomacy, war, and commerce.

A key theme in this course is how archaeology proves the role of Geography in shaping History and World History. Civilizations rose along rivers, deserts created natural barriers, mountains protected empires, and oceans enabled trade. Without archaeology, we would not see how deeply Geography connects to the flow of History and International Relations.

Finally, you’ll explore the ethical side: Who owns ancient artifacts? How should nations cooperate in protecting cultural heritage? Here, History, World History, International Relations, and Geography converge in real-world debates that matter today.

This program is engaging, accessible, and low commitment. You can learn at your own pace and gain meaningful insights without being overwhelmed. But remember: once enrollment closes, this Archaeology and Ancient History course will never return.
