South America Between Ancient and Modern In AD 476, warriors attacked the city of Rome and ended more than 800 years of glory for the “eternal city.” Historians mark the fall of Rome as the end of ancient history. The next one thousand years were called the Middle Ages. The Latin term for Middle Ages is "medieval." The beginning of the Middle Ages is often called the "Dark Ages" because the great civilizations of Greece and Rome had fallen. Life in Europe during the Middle Ages was very hard. Very few people could read or write and nobody expected conditions to improve. The only hope for most people during the Middle Ages was their strong belief in Christianity, and the hope that life in heaven would be better than life on earth. The Dark Ages were anything but dark in other parts of the world. The Muslims in the Middle East and North Africa studied and improved on the works of the ancient Greeks while civilization flourished in sub-Saharan Africa, China, India, and the Americas. Europe began to experience great change by about 1450. Within one hundred years, Columbus had sailed to America, literacy spread, scientists made great discoveries, and artists created work that still inspires us today. Historians call the next period of European history the "Renaissance," or the "rebirth." The Renaissance is the beginning of modern history.

     Extractions: A remarkable collection of cuneiform inscriptions, reliefs, pieces of small statuary and applied art represent the culture of the Sumerians, founders of a civilization between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates; their successors, the Akkadians and Babylonians, who created the powerful Assyrian Empire; and the peoples of the ancient Mediterranean. The earliest items come from the late 4th to early 3rd millenium BC. A group of painted pottery found in a necropolis at the settlement of Susa demonstrates the skill of craftsmen from Elam, home of the earliest civilization on the territory of Iran. A stone tablet with a pictographic inscription (late 4th to early 3rd millenium BC) from the Sumerian town of Uruk is regarded as one of the most ancient written documents, while important material on the history of the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian civilizations is provided by a number of pieces such as the cuneiform archive of a temple of the Sumerian goddess Bau at Lagash (28th-23rd centuries BC); documents associated with the 3rd dynasty of Gudea (c. 11th century BC); and economic documents for the town of Ur during the 3rd dynasty (11th-10th centuries BC).

     Extractions: April 27, 2004 http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=501768 What do 20th-century Israeli literature, medieval Arabic poetry from Andalusia, Farsi and the archaeology of ancient Jerusalem have to do with each other? Nothing, really, as far as I can tell. However, if you are interested in studying any of these diverse and eclectic topics at Harvard, you would turn in one direction—to the Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations (NELC) department. The department is based on a 60-year-old theory which Peter Machinist—the Hancock professor of Hebrew and other Oriental languages, who is NELC's acting director of undergraduate studies and served in that position for five years in the mid-1990s—calls "reverse-ethnocentricity—studying the world from where you stand." In Western terms, NELC's structure is tantamount to putting what we know now as Romance Languages, Classics, Comparative Literature, English, History and Literature, Germanic Languages and History of Art and Architecture all into one department. No university in the West would dream of doing this, yet for the "Near East" (an antiquated term in itself) one department suffices at Harvard. After World War II thrust the United States onto the international scene, the government started pouring money into universities to create area studies programs. Machinist recognizes that there were theories at the time that "areas had a cultural coherence"—and, he adds, "Harvard still has this theory." The government encouraged studying these regions from a Western point of view. However, since the anti-colonial movement took hold in the late 1950s and 1960s, many academics have revised the way they study other cultures. They have come to accept that the divisions between regions were not made along cultural borders and include different societies.
