    The document discusses the history of codes and ciphers from ancient times to modern eras. It defines key terms like code, cipher, and key. It then provides examples of early encryption methods from civilizations like Sumeria, Egypt, Hebrew, Greek and Roman cultures. These include cuneiform writing, hieroglyphics, the ATBASH cipher, skytale, Caesar cipher, and Vigenére cipher. The document uses encryptions of a name "Isabella Millie" to demonstrate different encryption techniques through history.
