Answer 2

You could do the Persian wars they made a fictional movie about it called 300. You could do the building of the pyramids or any other tombs in Egypt. You could do tombs in general and their meaning/significance. If you can do Greek mythology that would be sweet since there is a lot of material to go from and you could include how it effected the Greeks day to day living.
