For this project you will investigate a topic in world history up to 1000 CE. Write an essay of 1200 words, in which you examine the development of some aspect of an ‘Ancient City’ and investigate its history as it relates to the rise of civilization. To complete this research you will need to locate 1) one or more primary historical sources (documents written in the ancient period by people living in (or who visited) the city, 2) at least one secondary historical source that places the primary sources in their historical context (works written by contemporary historians).
Please submit a 250 word proposal of your research project (details below) that includes:
1) A formal title that describes the project (not just “History Proposal”),
2) Your Name, Course Number, and Section
3) A paragraph with a preliminary description of your project as you plan now. Include some details about: the people who lived there, their government institutions, arts and other cultural developments, and the historical context (migrations, climate, geography, etc), and make sure to discuss how it relates to the course.
4) A bibliography with:( separate the primary and secondary sources in your bibliography.)
a) at least ONE Primary Source (a document or object produced by the people and during the time you are investigating). You need to explain why this is a primary source and how you are going to use it.
b); and TWO secondary sources that are scholarly historical articles or books about the topic. Discuss how these sources will help you to place the primary source in its historical context.

– Point a
– Point b
