Secure Checkout | Enrollment Closes Feb 22

After two decades of teaching ancient history at the college level, I've learned that the most fascinating stories are often hidden beneath the surface. Now, I want to share them with you.

Dear Fellow History Enthusiast,

Let me paint you a picture...

A couple decades ago, I stood in my first college classroom, ready to teach ancient history the way it had always been taught. 

In fact, I had a Ph.D. and was teaching histories all about the ancient world in many different colleges over the last 20 years.

But something didn't feel right. 

The generic history textbooks weren't telling the whole story behind the art.

That moment began my personal quest to uncover the real truth about our ancient past. 

What I've discovered since then has amazed, shocked, and transformed how I see human civilization.

I know you feel it too. 

That nagging sense that there's more to these ancient stories than what we've been told. 

That desire to understand not just what happened, but why it happened, and how it still shapes our world today.

You might know me from my World of Antiquity YouTube channel, where I share my passion for history with hundreds of thousands of viewers. 

But what I'm about to share in this intimate workshop goes far deeper than anything I've ever revealed on YouTube.

Why I Created This Course

Throughout my career researching the Near East and Eastern Mediterranean, ancient timekeeping methods, and the true chronology of the ancient world, I've repeatedly encountered evidence that challenges everything we think we know about ancient civilizations.

I've spent countless hours:

  • Deciphering ancient texts that reveal shocking historical truths

  • Uncovering connections between civilizations that history books ignore

  • Finding patterns in archaeological evidence that raise fascinating questions

  • Discovering how ancient people achieved things we still can't explain

And now I'm bringing all of my expertise into a comprehensive program about ancient art.

Introducing...

Unveiling the Masterpieces of Antiquity: A Journey Through Ancient Art

Over our six weeks together, I'll reveal the fascinating world of ancient art and its deeper meanings:

The Hidden Stories in Ancient Art:

  • Why Mesopotamian cylinder seals contain more than just pretty pictures

  • The secret meanings behind Egyptian tomb paintings that most visitors miss

  • How to "read" ancient sculptures like the civilizations that created them

  • The universal symbols that appear in art across civilizations

Artistic Techniques and Masterpieces:

  • How ancient sculptors achieved perfect proportion without modern tools

  • Why certain ancient paintings have survived for thousands of years

  • How Chinese artists achieved their distinctive aesthetic effects

Cultural Insights Through Art:

  • What Greek sculptures reveal about their ideal of human perfection

  • How Roman art propaganda shaped an empire

  • Why Indian Buddhist art evolved so dramatically over time

  • The fascinating symbolism in Chinese bronze vessels

  • How ancient art continues to influence modern aesthetics

Here's What We'll Explore Together Week by Week

  • ✓

    Week 1: Mesopotamia & Egypt - The Birth of Artistic Expression 

    I'll guide you through the intricate cylinder seals of ancient Mesopotamia, revealing how these societies used art to connect with their gods. Then we'll explore Egypt's grand statues, vibrant tomb paintings, and majestic pyramids, uncovering how they reflected profound beliefs about life, death, and divinity.

  • ✓

    Week 2: Olmec, Minoan & Etruscan Masterpieces 

    Together we'll examine the mysterious colossal heads and jade carvings of the Olmecs, decode the vibrant frescoes of Minoan palaces, and appreciate the sophisticated bronze work of the Etruscans. I'll show you how these lesser-known civilizations developed artistic traditions that influenced all who came after them.

  • ✓

    Week 3: Classical Greek Art - The Quest for Perfect Beauty 

    I'll reveal how the Greeks revolutionized art through their pursuit of ideal beauty and proportion. We'll study the magnificent Parthenon, examine the groundbreaking work of masters like Phidias and Polykleitos, and trace how Greek artistic principles spread throughout the ancient world.

  • ✓

    Week 4: Hellenistic & Roman Transformations 

    Watch how Greek art evolved into the dramatic and emotional style of the Hellenistic period, exemplified by masterpieces like the Winged Victory of Samothrace. Then see how the Romans adapted these influences to create their own artistic identity and the storytelling power of their elaborate mosaics.

  • ✓

    Week 5: The Sacred Art of Ancient India 

    Journey with me to explore the exquisite sculptures of the Indus Valley, the spiritual grandeur of Buddhist stupas, and the awe-inspiring rock-cut caves of Ajanta and Ellora. I'll show you how Indian artists created works of both profound religious significance and stunning beauty.

  • ✓

    Week 6: China's Artistic Revolution 

    In our final week, we'll trace the evolution of Chinese art from the magnificent bronzes of the Shang Dynasty to the army of terracotta warriors. I'll reveal how Chinese artists developed unique approaches to painting and calligraphy that would influence Asian art for millennia to come.

This course isn’t for everyone

After 20 years of teaching, I know this course isn't right for:

  • People who prefer comfortable myths over challenging truths

  • Those unwilling to question what they think they know

  • Anyone looking for simple, neat answers without complexity

I'm looking for students who, like me, are endlessly curious and willing to follow evidence wherever it leads.

What My Past Students Say

  • “In this age of pseudo history and pseudo intellectuals, these courses are a breath of fresh air. Content-rich, fun, interesting and accessible to people from all academic backgrounds.”

    Luis V.

  • “The courses offer a wealth of information I wouldn't have otherwise found, put into context that's not otherwise obvious, and this keeps me wanting more.”

    Fran N.

  • “Dr. Miano's engaging style and wide knowledge brought the subject to life. The other students' questions and observations were an unexpected and pleasant bonus.”

    Larry W.

  • “Dr. Miano's explanations are extraordinary, interesting and complete without going on tangents. His depth of knowledge is fantastic.”

    Paul J.

  • "The depth of knowledge can't be found anywhere else. This goes way beyond what's available on YouTube."

    Francois B.

  • "Dr. Miano went out of his way to provide a college level course at a very fair price. 10/10 if you want to see how much you really didn't know you didn't know."

A Personal Note

Throughout my career, I've been driven by one simple goal: to understand our ancient past as it really was, not as it's been filtered through centuries of misunderstanding and misinterpretation.

The discoveries I'll share with you have transformed how I see human history. 

They've shown me that our ancestors were far more sophisticated, connected, and capable than we've been led to believe.

Now, I want to share these insights with you. 

Together, we'll explore the evidence I've uncovered and the patterns I've discovered that paint a very different picture of our shared past.

Will you join me on this extraordinary journey?

Best,
David Miano

P.S. – If you skipped all the way to the bottom…

Here’s a quick recap:

I’ve been teaching people at multiple colleges about ancient history for over 2 decades.

But it never sat right with me.

I didn’t want to teach my students how to just memorize dates and names, I wanted them to see the hidden meanings behind the history.

So I quit and began teaching history online.

Since then I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars exploring the world and gaining real information from these ancient cities. It’s been a wonderful journey.

And now I have a new exciting workshop called  Unveiling the Masterpieces of Antiquity: A Journey Through Ancient Art  where I want to share my deeper discoveries with you.

It will be an interactive 6-week workshop where I’ll teach you about art way beyond the college level.

Instead of teaching you how to memorize names and dates, I’ll teach you how to connect the dots and understand what others can’t.
