Hi there! We are also studying ancient history this year, but are using Easy Peasy this year for this subject only since we are in between programs waiting to start a new one next year when my kiddos reach the age level for the one we will begin (we will be starting Trail Guide to Learning next year but needed a filler this year and this provided a simple and free unit study type way to go). This link has several resources that may be great supplements for you http://allinonehomeschool.com/history-year-1/ There are online videos for touring inside the pyramids, some online games for being a pyramid builder, etc. I hope it helps! It goes through Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, Mayas, India, Greece, Rome, Vikings, Middle Ages, Japan, Mongolians, Ottoman and Persian Empires, and Explorers (discovery of America), etc. I was skeptical (never used Easy Peasy before) but am pleasantly surprised that when supplemented with great library resources, so far it is working out!
