IN LARGE FORMAT 8.5'x11' (21.6x28 cm). In "Fantastic Archaeology: Journey Through Timeless Cities," readers are invited to embark on a captivating journey to some of the world's most enigmatic and historically rich cities. This inaugural volume focuses on iconic places that have captivated the human imagination for generations: Sodom, Masada, Carthage, Leptis Magna, Baalbek, Babylon, Jericho, Palmyra, Petra, and Persepolis. Each city is located within modern-day countries, making them easily traceable on a map and contextual within today's geopolitical landscape.
The book masterfully intertwines rigorous archaeological research with historical facts, legends, and local traditions. The author's engaging narrative brings these ancient cities to life, enabling readers to delve into their spellbinding histories and their contributions to human civilization. From the rise of agriculture in Jericho—the world's oldest city—to the architectural genius of Petra and the multiculturalism of Persepolis, the book illuminates the profound impact of these cities on our shared human story.
Designed to be both educational and accessible, the book aims to inspire a new generation of explorers, particularly young readers. The cities covered are not only significant in archaeological terms but are also frequently referenced in religious and historical texts, as well as in literature and art, making them instantly recognizable to many readers.
The book concludes with a thought-provoking reflection on the ongoing nature of archaeological discovery. Even as the book offers detailed snapshots of each city's past, it also acknowledges that our understanding continues to evolve with current excavations. By recognizing the invaluable contributions of countless archaeologists and enthusiasts, the book stresses that these ancient narratives remain open to future discovery and interpretation.
