Ancient history is the study of the written past from the beginning of recorded human history in the Old World to the Early Middle Ages in Europe.

The span of recorded history is roughly 5,000 years, with Cuneiform script, the oldest discovered form of writing, from the protoliterate period around the 30th century BC. This is the beginning of history, as opposed to prehistory, according to the definition used by most historians.

The term classical antiquity is often used to refer to ancient history since the beginning of recorded Greek history in 776 BC (First Olympiad). This roughly coincides with the traditional date of the founding of Rome in 753 BC, the beginning of the history of ancient Rome, and the beginning of the Archaic period in Ancient Greece. Although the ending date of ancient history is disputed, Western scholars use the fall of the Western Roman Empire in AD 476, the death of the emperor Justinian I, the coming of Islam or the rise of Charlemagne as the end of ancient and Classical European history.

In India, the period includes the period of the Middle Kingdoms, and in China the time up to the Qin Dynasty is included.

At the ancient greek history it is mentioned about giants, and super humans. Also other gods too , might be from the fallen angels, before the flood, like egyptian gods, or the Scandinavian gods.

A. Yes. 214 fallen angels decided - under guidance of samzayah - to rebel against the due purpose of their existence, mingled with man's daughters and the nefilim were born. Later on, these also gave birth to the giborim - the giants - and reality and Legend began. There a little truth in any lie. But there can not be truth in any lie. The book of Enoch gives names, purpose and responsibility to all these entities. These are the ones that belong to those coming back to earth to finnish what they started. Soon. Part of their deeds were monsters, mixing of different species and the teachings of weaponry, medicines and technology that mankind used since. If you think the "inbreeding- of species is something new, think again. Why do you think… [cont.]

A. They believed that one day the soul would come back to the same body after death. That is why they had to preserve the body. The internal organs were removed and kept separately in salted water in four jars. The body was placed in natron salt for 40 days. After that it was painted with resin to keep the humidity from reaching the body, then they wrapped the body with bands of cloth.
