The Ancient World


Mesopotamia, with two radiant rivers
And zigzagging ziggurats

Egypt, with friendly pharaohs
And inspiring pyramids

Israel, with God’s kind law
And the Holy temple

Babylon, with the brilliant Ishtar Gate
And the colorful Hanging Gardens

Greece, with evil gods
And terrific athletes

Rome, with extraordinary emperors
And great armies

The Ancient World,
Inspiring, remarkable, and brilliant.
