As modern day humans it is far too easy to get comfortable in our present time to appreciate that millions/billions lived and died during the centuries before us.
It’s hard to imagine that great civilizations have risen and fallen over the millennium. All were populated by people just like us. All had their dreams and aspirations, troubles, good times, families, jobs and occupations, enjoyed foods, drink and fashion and took part in a variety of activities.
In author Philip Matyszak’s and Thames & Hudson’s deluxe, hardbound book with dust jacket: Lost Cities Of The Ancient World, discover and learn all about the ancient people, civilizations and most importantly the cities the people dwelt in.
Photos, art and diagrams/maps guide you through the many centuries as you discover how civilizations rose and fell and what remains today of their dwellings, art, culture and remnants and traces in modern societies.
I love history and I find this book very comprehensive, informative and most of all it brings the past alive by populating it with real people, places and things.
1 Corinthians 2:5 - That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
