Forgotten Peoples of the Ancient World
Author: Philip MatyszakPublisher: Thames & Hudson
ISBN: 0500775397
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 507
Book Description
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 Description
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.
