Ancient Greece and Rome were the source of many ideas that people believe in today, such as democracy as well as art and drama, Mathematics and civil engineering. The Ancient Egyptians had an advanced understanding of science, medicine, astronomy and architecture, as well as excellent craftsmanship. The Renaissance resulted in new movements in art, music and literature. The 1960s and the Vietnam War were directly responsible for social unrest and peace movements in the United States. The 1960s also saw important developments in music, art and literature and the role of young people in society. In the Middle Ages much of the knowledge and expertise from previous periods was lost during years of war, religious crusades and civil unrest. Prehistory laid the foundations of civilisation in terms of social organisation, farming and developments in craftsmanship.

More accurate information may come from film footage or documentary evidence. There could be an element of speculation about the archaeological dig, and some element of entertainment to the battle re-enactment and traditional craftsmen. The personal documents have the advantage that they are written by real people at the time, but may also be emotionally or personally biased and not as objectively factual.

A Neil Armstrong was the first man to land on the moon in 1969. He was joined by colleague Buzz Aldrin. This was the culmination of the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union. In 2001 the first space tourist went into space, and the Cassini spacecraft has sent back images of Saturn. Scientists are investigating the possibilities of terraforming other planets so that they could support human life. B The Berlin Wall fell in November 1989 allowing people from Communist East Berlin to flood into West Berlin. At the end of the Second World War, Germany was divided between the Allies, and East Berlin fell under Communist rule. The Wall was built in 1961 to stop people moving from East to West Berlin. The fall of the Wall became a symbol of the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe and the end of the Cold War. C Dolly was cloned in 1996 in the UK. Directly involved were the scientists responsible. The breakthrough led to great public and scientific debate about the ethics of cloning, as opposed to natural reproduction. The science that produced Dolly wasnt new, and technically she wasnt the first clone, but was the most famous example of it. There are many potential developments for farming as well as potential breakthroughs in human medicine.
