  3. What is an Age? Click me • AnAgeor period is “is a large interval of time with a definite characteristic.” • Unfortunately, Ages do not neatly line up with eras. There are several points in history where an age overlaps two eras. Iron Age

  4. Prehistoric Ages Click Here • Prehistoric is time before when humans kept written records (usually anything before 3300 BCE/BC) • Prehistoric Eras and Ages are identical! • Old Stone Age = Paleolithic era (2,000,000 to 10,000 BCE/BC). • New Stone Age = Neolithic Era – 10,000 BCE/BC to 3300 BCE/BC

  5. The Bronze and Iron Ages Click here • The Bronze age ushers in civilization! • Bronze Age- 3300BCE/BC to 1200 BCE/BC (Mesopotamia to early Greece) Bronze technology (weapons and tools) change the way we live • Iron Age– 1200 BCE/BC to 500 CE/AD (Early Greece to the very end of Rome). Iron is the metal upon which civilization rises and falls.

  6. Medieval Ages Click here • Things take time to fall apart and to rebuild • Dark Age– 400 CE/AD to 1000 CE/AD (Church is in charge and it’s very bad in Europe) • Middle Age/High Middle– 1000 to 1300 CE/AD (growth of European kingdoms (France, England, Spain, Portugal and Germany)).

  7. The beginning of the Modern Era Click here • The Renaissance is the first age in the modern era. This is the “rebirth” of civilization. • The Renaissance - 1300 CE/AD to 1500 CE/AD (rebirth of culture, city-states form in Italy, art, literature, thought, music and science begin to flourish).
