In ancient India, where Hinduism was founded, religion held great importance, along with great traditions and incredible architecture.

Unlike other ancient civilizations, the Indus River Valley Civilization, built in the Indus River Valley does not appear to have been war-torn. Historians and archaeologists instead point to organized city planning and water supply systems. This ancient civilization invented standardized weights and measures, seal carving, and metallurgy with copper, bronze, lead and tin. They also invented the circular saw.

The collapse of the Indus Valley, around 1700 B.C., is often credited to migration prompted by climate change or possible tectonic movement that caused the Saraswati River to dry out. Others cite a great flood.

Mesopotamia is the land "between the rivers" in modern-day Iraq—was home to the ancient Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. Mesopotamia is the oldest civilization in the earth. They have invented Writing, math, medicine, libraries, road networks, domesticated animals, the zodiac, astronomy, and even beer making and counting. A new study suggests an ancient Mesopotamian civilization was likely wiped out by dust storms nearly 4,000 years ago.

The Sumerian civilization, emerging around the 4th millennium BCE in Mesopotamia, is one of the earliest known civilizations. They are renowned for their innovations in language, governance, and architecture. Their cuneiform script is among the oldest forms of written expression. The Sumerians lived in what is now modern-day Iraq, in a region known as the Fertile Crescent. Sumerians made significant contributions to various fields, including the creation of a numerical system based on the number 60, which is still used to measure time and angles. They also developed a complex legal system and are known for the Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the earliest great works of literature.

The hun may look more like a vase than a musical instrument, but it is actually an instrument,made of baked clay, it has a blowing hole at the top and five finger holes around its diameter. It is held with both hands, as the fingers are closed and opened to make the notes. It was primarily used in temples in the 12th century, but more recently had a resurgence when some Korean composers began to use it in film scores.

Are you Gryffindor? Are you Hufflepuff? Are you Slytherin? Are you Ravenclaw?

Find out with the Hogwarts Sorting Experience created by J.K. Rowling.

Now, we're assuming you're more than familiar with the four houses of Hogwarts, but here's a quick refresher, just in case.

Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago by four powerful wizards: Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff. They chose to split the students into four 'houses', each bearing their surnames and featuring young wizards and witches who displayed abilities and personalities they wanted to nurture.

To do this, Godric Gryffindor used his magical hat - henceforward known as the Sorting Hat - to decide which children should go into which house, and so it has been ever since with a yearly Sorting Ceremony that places each new pupil into their own new home.

The four houses have different entry requirements, and nobody summed them up better than the old Sorting Hat itself in its welcoming song...

Once you've tried the Hogwarts Sorting Experience, you can find out more about your house, and how the houses came to be in the first place.

You can read more about the founders of Hogwarts or the wily old Sorting Hat and even your house ghost.

In the 1971 film The Flight of the Doves, an Irish policeman lifts up a little English girl so that she can see the nearby parade for Saint Patrick's Day. He tells her, 'It's a great day for the Irish.' The little girl exclaims, 'I'm not Irish!', to which the policeman replies, 'You don't have to be Irish to be Irish!' Saint Patrick's Day is the national day of Ireland. Every 17 March, the day is celebrated around the globe by millions of people, Irish and not-so-Irish.

Patrick, the man

Did you know that Saint Patrick himself was not actually Irish? It is thought that he was either Scottish or Welsh, coming from a wealthy Christian family. Ancient documents suggest that, as a teenager, he was taken by Irish pirates to work as a slave in Ireland. Once in his new country, he began to talk to Irish people about God, introducing his Christian beliefs to the country.

Patrick and the snakes

Old legends say that, years ago, Ireland had a lot of snakes and that Saint Patrick used his powers to chase them all into the sea. To this day, Ireland has many old statues of Saint Patrick, often with snakes at his feet. Apparently, this is why Ireland has no native species of snakes (though most scientists suggest that this fact could be more related to geographical reasons!).

International popularity

March 17 is a day for huge celebrations in Ireland. However, due to Ireland's history of emigration, many people around the world consider themselves to be partly Irish because of their ancestral connections. This means that Saint Patrick's Day parties take place around the world, from Boston to Tokyo, Sydney to Buenos Aires. In fact, Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated in more countries than any other national festival.

Big parades

The most famous celebrations on Saint Patrick's Day are the parades. These are carnival-like events, where people dress up and walk along the street, dancing or playing music. Often the parades include big lorries, specially decorated in green. Many of the world's major cities have enormous parades. The largest is in New York, where 150,000 people participate in the parade and millions of people watch. The second largest is in Dublin, Ireland's capital city.

More 'modest' parades

Ireland itself is a relatively small country with few cities. However, most of its towns and villages have their own 'mini' parades. Sometimes, these simply include a few tractors and the children from the local school. The shortest known parade used to take place in the village of Dripsey, in southern Ireland. The length of the parade was just 23 metres, between the village's two pubs. However, the Dripsey parade came to an end when one of the two pubs sadly closed down!

A day for green

Another well-known aspect of Saint Patrick's Day is the colour green. Around the world, many people wear green clothes as a way of marking the day. In major cities, green lights illuminate famous global landmarks such as the Colosseum in Rome or the Christ The Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro. In Chicago, thousands of people watch as special boats dye the river a bright green colour. Students at Miami University in Ohio, USA, even have a 70-year-old tradition of drinking special green 'Saint Patrick's' beer!

Wherever you're from, make sure you celebrate this 17 March by watching your local parade, drinking some Irish beer or perhaps just by wearing a silly green hat. And don't forget to wish your friends a wonderful Saint Patrick's Day, or, as they say in Ireland, 'Happy Paddy's Day!'

Get ready for green lights, green hats, even green beer! Saint Patrick's Day is on 17 March. Why is Ireland's national day such a worldwide party?
