2. Archaeological mapping kit: Help your son develop practical skills in the field of archaeology with an archaeological mapping kit. This kit typically includes tools used to measure, mark, and document archaeological sites, which will allow him to engage in hands-on learning and data collection related to ancient civilizations.

3. Museum membership: To further fuel your son's love for ancient civilizations, consider gifting him a membership to a local museum or historical site that exhibits artifacts and information about these civilizations. This membership will give him the opportunity to immerse himself in the subject matter and attend workshops or lectures organized by experts.

5. Virtual reality experience: Virtual reality (VR) can offer an immersive experience that brings ancient civilizations to life. Consider gifting your son a VR headset and exploring virtual archaeological tours, historical reconstructions, or educational games that allow him to transport himself back in time and experience these civilizations firsthand.

6. Ancient civilization-themed board games: Make learning about ancient civilizations a fun and engaging activity by gifting your son a board game that revolves around this subject.
