There are two approaches to teaching Humanities to children. One is to start with the present and go backward, with a sort of "this came from...." approach. The other, more common, is to start as far back as you care to and follow a more "this led to...." approach. I am more interested in the first, which takes what children can see around them and works backward to things that are unfamiliar.
My children were more interested in the latter.
So we're starting with Ancient Egypt.
