Auke de Haan: Scary Ancient Civilizations History Facts, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The ancient world was a far more violent and strange place than popular histories often convey. This book presents documented facts about ancient civilizations that reveal the harsher realities of life thousands of years ago, from the brutality of public punishment and warfare to the bizarre religious practices and social customs that governed everyday existence in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, and beyond.

Each fact is sourced from archaeological evidence, ancient texts, and historical scholarship. The book covers a range of civilizations and time periods, offering readers a more honest picture of what ancient life actually involved. It is not an academic text but is written in an accessible style for readers who find the darker and stranger sides of ancient history compelling.
