Whether one can precisely define a time window as'' 'High Middle Ages' or 'Early Middle Ages' ''the title evokes an image and expectations in the reader of certain sets of characteristics—the essential essence of such labeling—a communications tool from one mind to another. Nonetheless, periods have a ''generally accepted meaning'' within all disciplines even though a given community of scholarship applies different criteria to their meaning of the same general term used in other disciplines; consequently squabbles about exact date ranges are mostly shrugged aside as counter-productive — in large part this is an extension of the recognition that one region develops at a different pace and under different influences and so at a different rate. A city or town will generally adopt a new practice as it hears about things first simply because it is in greater more frequent contact with a larger farther section of the world. Sometime later the idea or practice or characteristic spreads to the whole region, people, or continent. == Ancient history (3600 BC – 500 AD) == (詳細はWestern Roman Empire in the Mediterranean, the Han Dynasty in China, and the Gupta Empire in India, collectively around 500 CE. The Bronze Age is the time period in which humans around the world began to use bronze as a major metal in tools. It is generally accepted as starting around 3600 BCE and ending with the advent of iron in 1000 BCE. The Iron Age is often called Antiquity or the Classical Era, but these periods more commonly refer to only one region. It begins around 1000 BCE with the widespread use of iron in tools. It is often accepted to end at approximately 500 CE, with the fall of the aforementioned major civilizations. Note that BC and BCE refer to the same time period. BCE is an abbreviation for Before Common Era, and BC for Before Christ. AD is Anno Domini, and CE is Common Era. This is done in order to standardize time periods across the world (ISO 8601). *History of Mesopotamia 6000 BC - 1100 BC *Indus Valley Civilization 3300 BC - 1300 BC *Old Kingdom (Egypt, 3000 BC - 2000 BC) *Middle Kingdom (Egypt, 2000 BC - 1300 BC) *Vedic period India, (1750 - 500 BC) *New Kingdom (Egypt, 1300 BC - 700 BC) *Shang Dynasty (China 1800 BC - 1200 BC) *Mediterranean Antiquity *Zhou Dynasty (China, 1200 BCE–500 BCE) *Ancient Greece, (circa 1000 BCE–323 BCE) (see Timeline of Ancient Greece) *Mahajanapadas, (India 600 - 300 BC) *Ancient Rome 753 BC - 476 AD) *Classical India (230 BC - 500 AD) *Six Dynasties (China, 220 CE–581 CE) * *Three Kingdoms (China, 220–280) *Late Antiquity (Europe, circa 300 - circa 600) *Dark Age (Europe, 4th century - 900) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「History by period」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
