Biblical Era

 17th century B.C.E, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob - patriarchs of the Jewish people and

bearers of a belief in one God - settle in the Land of Israel.Famine forces
Israelite's to migrate to Egypt.
 The chronology of the Bible is an elaborate system of lifespans, 'generations', and
other means by which the passage of events is measured, beginning with the Genesis
creation narrative. A widespread scholarly understanding is that this marks out a
world cycle of 4,000 years, ending, presumably, around 164 BCE (the year of the re-
dedication of the Second Temple)

Glory that was Greece,

Triumph that was Rome. The Age of Enlightenment (also known as the Age of
Reason or simply the Enlightenment) was an intellectual
and philosophical movement that dominated the world of
ideas in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries. The
Enlightenment included a range of ideas centered on the
pursuit of happiness, sovereignty of reason, and the
evidence of the senses as the primary sources of
knowledge and advanced ideals such as liberty progress,
Historically, western culture has identified very strongly with the toleration fraternity, constitutional government, and
Greco-Roman world; ‘the glory that was Greece’, in particular, separation of church and state.
has been appropriated as the origin of much that is familiar to us
now, including science, philosophy, democracy, art and
architecture, poetry and drama. But other aspects of the classical
world have not been greeted with the same enthusiasm. From
polytheism and animal sacrifice to gladiatorial combat, and from
infanticide to slavery, some features of Greek and Roman society
now feel very alien, and if we choose to focus on these then the
Greeks and Romans may look to the modern viewer more like
the dangerous Other than our honored ancestors.

The Industrial and

Technological
Revolution
It has been said that the Industrial Revolution was the most profound revolution in human
history, because of its sweeping impact on people’s daily lives. The term “industrial
revolution” is a succinct catchphrase to describe a historical period, starting in 18th-century
Great Britain, where the pace of change appeared to speed up. This acceleration in the
processes of technical innovation brought about an array of new tools and machines. It also
involved more subtle practical improvements in various fields affecting labor, production,
and resource use. The word “technology” (which derives from the Greek word techne,
meaning art or craft) encompasses both of these dimensions of innovation.
