Studying and learning about ancient monuments is a great way to get a feel for how former societies lived. They are a glimpse into the past and relics of our history. Knowing about them means knowing about our own history and where we come from.
This quiz will test your knowledge of historical world sites from civilizations in the past. Unlike with current world monuments, the ones you will be quizzed on here were built by ancient societies with different cultures, rituals, and ways of doing things. Many of them were constructed hundreds, if not thousands of years ago. They were home to entire civilizations once upon a time and exist only as ruins today. Whether you are a history scholar, anthropologist, ancient culture enthusiast, or seasoned traveler, you certainly would have to know a lot about ancient monuments and civilizations to pass this quiz. Take up the challenge and see if you can get at least 12 out of 15.
