(“roughly”)
*~3476 YEARS*
.
*’ancient history’ is the aggregate of ‘past events’ from the beginning of ‘recorded human history’ + extending as far as the ‘early middle ages’ (or the ‘post-classical era’)*
.
(the span of recorded history is roughly 5,000 years, beginning with sumerian ‘cuneiform script’, the oldest discovered form of coherent writing from the proto-literate period around the 30th century BC)
(*3000 BC marks the beginning of what we now call ‘human history’*)
(although the ending date of ‘ancient history’ is disputed, some Western scholars use the fall of the ”Western Roman Empire’ in 476 AD (the most used), the closure of the ‘Platonic Academy’ in 529 AD, the death of the emperor ‘Justinian I’ in 565 AD, the coming of ‘Islam’, or the rise of ‘Charlemagne’ as the end of ‘ancient’ and ‘Classical European’ history)
.
(in ‘india’, ‘ancient history’ includes the early period of the ‘middle kingdoms’, and, in ‘china’, the time up to the ‘qin dynasty’)
