"Soaring Spirit" Persia -History of the World 3000-1500BC -ancient civilizations illus art creations

Persia at the Crest; The Hellenic Unfolding; Dawn of the Romans; Enlightenment in the East. Richly illustrated, and designed as an introduction to the time frame covered. Especially compelling are the artists interpretations or recreations of what various ancient civilizations would have looked like – their architecture, homes, monuments, cities, daily life, jewelry, food, family life, dwellings, occupations, etc. As just one instance, the ruins of Babylon and Ur, Athens and Rome hint at the incredible richness of those fabled cities. The artist’s recreations in this series are simply mind-numbing. This is as close as you can be to actually having been there.
