We talked a lot about people who wrote books in Greece and how those set of rules were applied in the books. We talked about the two main areas known in Greece which is Sparta and Athens

This document talks about the prehistory. The Paleolithic Era (Old Stone Age) was the start of humanity. The Neolithic Revolution was the start of creating this sort of community and society that we now have today. The notes talk about Mesopotamia and the Sumerians and how they created the first written language. Also talks about the Code of Hammurabi and where it came from.
