3. Historical Documentaries and TV Series: Consider gifting her DVDs or a subscription to a streaming service that offers a wide range of documentaries and TV series related to ancient civilizations and history. This will allow her to dive deeper into her favorite topics while enjoying captivating visuals.

4.

5. Travel Books and Maps: Encourage her love for history by gifting her travel books and maps that highlight ancient civilizations and historical sites around the world. Not only will she be able to learn more about these destinations, but it may also inspire her future travels to witness history firsthand.

6. Language Courses: If your daughter has shown an interest in a specific ancient language, consider gifting her language learning courses or apps. This will allow her to delve deeper into the culture and history of ancient civilizations by studying their languages. Platforms like Duolingo offer courses in a variety of languages, including Latin, Ancient Greek, and Egyptian Hieroglyphs.
