520 The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Civilizations
explores the world's earliest cultures, from the farming
settlements of Mesopotamia to the Americas and Polynesia,
via the birth of Greek city states and the foundation of
Rome. It examines the development of civilizations in the
Near East - Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian - as well as
those in Europe - the Minoans, Etruscans and Celts. Across
the continents of Africa, Asia and America it covers
subjects including Egypt from its pre-dynastic roots to
the age of the Pharaohs, China during the Shang and Zhou
dynasties, and the great cities of the Incas and Aztecs.
Vivid descriptions of individual civilizations are
complemented by discussion of such key topics as
colonization, agriculture and technology, and the rise of
empires. Richly illustrated with photographs, artwork re-
creations and full-colour maps, this is an illuminating
and multi-faceted one-volume introduction to early peoples
and the worlds they created.
