How did the environment effect the peoples of the ancient world? On this tour we explore how the peoples of the Mediterranean, Near East, and Egypt lived in their diverse natural environments, and how they dealt with changes. Learn about how slow-moving climate change and drastic natural disasters have led to some of archaeology’s greatest discoveries.
