A journey through time

Exhibits at some Expo pavilions teach us about these countries' fascinating histories

Expo brings the world to the Chinese people. When thousands of visitors from all parts of the country leave the Expo site tired and hungry every evening, they surely know more about the world than they did that morning. And I am one of them.

I have spent a lot time reading about human history and culture, wondering how ancient people in different countries lived; and how these ancient civilizations, such as the Egyptian, Persian, Greek, Indian and Chinese, developed and influenced each other. Things that happened 2,000 or 3,000 years ago fascinate me very much and I have learned a lot about these periods, both from books and from the Internet.
