Answer the following questions briefly:

Mention a few striking pictures from the gallery of history.

Some of the most striking pictures from the gallery of history are, for example, that of the first civilizations of the world, including the Egyptian, the Mesopotamian, the Chinese and the ancient Indian. This was followed by the invasion of Aryans into the Indian heartland and their spread to greater parts of Europe and Asia. The image of the wonderful Chinese culture is as important as the beautiful cultures of Knossos, Greece, Rome and Byzantium.

The triumph of the Arabs across the two continents of Asia and Europe and the renaissance of Indian culture along with its decay are equally important too. Also, of immense relevance in this gallery are an image of the little known and mysterious civilisations of the Aztecs and the Mayans, as well as the vast conquests of the Mongolians.

The European medieval years, including the Gothic and the Renaissance, the advent of Indo-Islamic culture and the emergence of navigation by sea were important focal points in history. The advent of the industrial revolution followed by western aggression and dominance over the world, including India followed by the spread of capitalism, science and imperialism are all important pictures from the gallery of world history.
