Download or read book Forgotten Peoples of the Ancient World written by Philip Matyszak and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2020-07-02 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient world saw the birth and collapse of great civilizations. In mainstream history the Classical world is dominated by Greece and Rome, and the Biblical world is centred on the Hebrews. Yet the roughly four-and-a-half thousand years (4000 bcad 550) covered in this book saw many peoples come and go within the brawling, multi-cultural mass of humanity that occupied the ancient Middle East, Mediterranean and beyond. While a handful of ancient cultures have garnered much of the credit, these forgotten peoples also helped to lay the foundations of our modern world. This guide brings these lost peoples out of the shadows to highlight their influence and achievements. Forty-five entries span the birth of civilization in Mesopotamia to the fall of the Roman Empire in the West, offering an alternative history focusing on the names we arent familiar with, from the Hurrians to the Hephthalites, as well as the peoples whose names we know, such as the Philistines and the Vandals, but whose real significance has been obscured. Each entry charts the rise and fall of a lost people, and how their culture echoes through history into the present. Important ancient artefacts are illustrated throughout and fifty specially drawn maps help orientate the reader within this tumultuous period of history. Philip Matyszak brings to life the rich diversity of the peoples founding cities, inventing alphabets and battling each other in the ancient world, and explores how and why they came to be forgotten.

Book excerpt: The Palaeo-Eskimos have left far more than the hundreds of pieces of art recovered by archaeologists and the evidence of human ingenuity and endurance on the perimeter of the habitable world. Their most valuable legacy lies in the realization that these two things occurred together and were part of the same phenomenon. They provide an example of lives lived richly and joyfully amid dangers and insecurities that are beyond the imagination of the present world.
Download or read book Stories of Ancient Peoples Classic Reprint written by Emma Josephine Arnold and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Ancient Peoples This little volume is intended as supplementary reading for schools. It does not claim to be more than a series of sketches, leaflets from the inexhaustible record book of the ancient past. It is hoped that these sketches will prove an interest ing and stimulating preliminary to the study of ancient Oriental history, and, by thus leading back to the infancy of nations, incite to investigation in the fascinating field of prehistoric archaeology, the first Act in the great Life Drama of mankind. Although the chapters of this book do not form a con tinned narrative, they will have their full meaning only if read in the order in which they are placed. I have endeavored to bring out the salient points in each national character, and by contrasting one with another, make it easier for youthful students to retain a separate picture of each.

Download or read book Ancient People of the Andes written by Michael A. Malpass and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-09 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ancient People of the Andes, Michael A. Malpass describes the prehistory of western South America from initial colonization to the Spanish Conquest. All the major cultures of this region, from the Moche to the Inkas, receive thoughtful treatment, from their emergence to their demise or evolution. No South American culture that lived prior to the arrival of Europeans developed a writing system, making archaeology the only way we know about most of the prehispanic societies of the Andes. The earliest Spaniards on the continent provided first-person accounts of the latest of those societies, and, as descendants of the Inkas became literate, they too became a source of information. Both ethnohistory and archaeology have limitations in what they can tell us, but when we are able to use them together they are complementary ways to access knowledge of these fascinating cultures. Malpass focuses on large anthropological themes: why people settled down into agricultural communities, the origins of social inequalities, and the evolution of sociopolitical complexity. Ample illustrations, including eight color plates, visually document sites, societies, and cultural features. Introductory chapters cover archaeological concepts, dating issues, and the region's climate. The subsequent chapters, divided by time period, allow the reader to track changes in specific cultures over time.
