The word "ancient" is an adjective applied to something from a comparatively long time ago. It can be used to mean "very old."

Historically, it describes a period of antiquity before the Middle Ages. But it can also be used, metaphorically, for anything archaic or outdated (e.g. his ancient computer could not run the program).
