The Ancient World & Me

Save Ancient Studies in America (SASA) is developing a year-long social media campaign with the goal of engaging 100,000 people with the ancient world. This summer we are creating fun/ny, informative, and fascinating posts, split into series that will each run on a particular day of the week starting in September 2020. We want to dedicate one day of the week highlighting YOUR stories in a series called “The Ancient World and Me”.

​

We are looking for personal reflections and stories about how you have interacted with, learned about, exposed to, or think about the ancient world in your own life. Have you ever visited an archaeological site during a family vacation and learned something you can’t forget? Do you have a favorite museum object that you connect to your own life/experience? Has a book, cartoon, or movie sparked your interest in the ancient world when you were a kid? We want to hear about it! If you have a picture that you would like to share with this post (for example, your selfie with a museum object, your vacation photo) please upload it below.

​

We will select the best submissions and post them in connection to our weekly themes and topics (we can’t guarantee that your post will be selected, but if it is, we will email you about the date it will be posted). The posts will appear on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter along with your image and social media handle (optional). You will have the full ownership of your image and content. SASA will only post it as part of the social media campaign.
