(What has been discovered through science: Archaeology/Geology/Written documents/Pictures: Roman mosaics, pottery, coins/Hieroglyphs/ What is the difference between a civilisation and a country/society/community/family?

Maori education systems: the importance of the family in education How is today’s fashion/clothing linked to the past?
