Have you ever wondered what was happening in China when the Romans were conquering Europe, in India at the time of the Ancient Greeks, or in the rest of Africa when the Egyptians were building the pyramids? In these days of supersonic flight we think of one world, but in the past this was not so. Here, in the 'Atlas of the Ancient World', a combination of clear maps, photographs, drawings, and a simple but informative text gives a picture of what was happening during the same periods of the early history of mankind in different places all over the world. Here too you can compare the achievements of the great civilizations of the past, which are treated in detail, making the 'Atlas of the Ancient World' not only a useful book to refer to but also one to browse through and enjoy.
