Description
This book is about significant peoples of antiquity whose history has been forgotten. Who knows that the Amorites made Babylon into a great city-state? That their king Hammurabi was not only lord over much of Mesopotamia, but established a legal code that for the first time made the presumption of innocence the basis of legal procedure? In the Bible, Paul's letter to the Galatians plays an important role - but who actually were the Galatians? And what do we know about the Samaritans, apart from the fact that one of them was merciful?
Whoever visits Rome today will marvel at Trajan's Column, which depicts Rome's war against the Dacians, but where did the Dacians live and what is the connection with them? From 2700 BC to 550 AD, bestselling author Philip Matyszak traces 40 vanished civilisations that once populated the Near and Middle East and Europe. Richly illustrated, the volume offers a wealth of discoveries and surprising details.
