Ancient Civilizations by Greg Woolf

Ancient Civilizations by Greg Woolf

The great civilizations of the distant past never cease to impress us with their spectacular achievements. Ideas, writings, and works of art speak to us across tracts of time with an amazing freshness of imagination and workmanship. This book presents a vivid, multi-faceted portrait of these achievements, set within their historical context and embracing a global coverage, which includes ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, Celtic Europe, China and Pre-Columbian America. A renowned team of specialists has created the most accessible guide yet produced to the spiritual, cultural, technological, and artistic innovation that was a hallmark of these complex and fascinating societies. Organized continent by continent, Ancient Civilizations places special emphasis on the evidence still remaining. Detailed coverage is given to symbols, sacred texts, religious ceremonies, gods and goddesses, visions of the cosmos, and sacred sites-from the temple of Karnak and the Valley of the Kings to the lakes and mountains of the Celtic imagination.
