Ancient

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 coherent 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.

How do I access the ancient pier on the second island on the Sims 2 castaway?
Q. I've built up my skill, caught fish, found my sims, and I can't find the ancient pier though. Is it the ancient door? If it is or if it isn't, could you tell me where the pier is and how I can gain access. If the second island is where you beat the game.
Asked by bubble_raynbows - Mon Dec 31 14:02:46 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If you mean where you beat the game, that Pier? Well if this is it you have to get all four treasure pieces. One is the the Garden down from where you craft things, one is where the Skeleton and his bird is, one is in front of the Skeleton door on the ancient temple island, and the last is given to you from Dr. Feelgood when you give her the Curry. After that you go to the Lookout on the Ancient island (Or Second Island) which is past where you make your clothes there's a lookout and you can jump into the sea and there is a boat, a door, and a treasure chest. The door goes back to the second island, the boat lets you beat the game, and chest has non-important items in it. Hope This Helps and Happy New Year! :D
