Description
This is the third book by a beloved author of historical books for older children, focusing on the ancient period in Africa, Europe, and Asia. It is divided into six parts, allowing you to learn about the countries and the lives of their inhabitants, primarily through remarkable, surprising, and amusing facts that you won't find in history textbooks. You will discover, for example: - what a Sumerian schoolboy wrote in his diary six thousand years ago, - why Egyptian women used to wear lumps of fat on their heads, - what an unusual Egyptian children's hairstyle looked like, - that a hollow horse likely did not figure in the conquest of Troy, - how Greek oracles cheated their clients, - why Greek farmers wrote letters to mice, - why Emperor Nero croaked, - that in the Roman Empire, slaves were sold with a guarantee, - what Alexander the Great sought in India besides people with ears down to the ground, - why the Chinese imperial crown looked quite different from European crowns.
