From the medieval French funerals of kings and the Sudanese Danka burying alive its “masters of the spear” to the great Berawan tombs of Borneo and the catacombs of Paris, Kerrigan shares fascinating details of death that are as revealing as details of the living. A rich and comprehensive history of the world, with photos and illustrations throughout, from a wonderful storyteller.

Michael Kerrigan is a London historian who writes for the Times and the Scotsman, and is currently editing the Reader’s Digest Illustrated History of the World.

Packed with inscriptions dating from third millennium Mesopotamia to the Roman era, The Ancients in their Own Words offers an exciting way of understanding the ancient world through the words of the people of the times. The lives and words of the great and good emperors, pharaohs, kings, and philosophers are recorded, as well as those of ordinary people, such as restaurant owners, doctors, farmers, gladiators, and soldiers.

The book includes samples of inscriptions from every major ancient civilization, from the third millennium BC Sargon Legend to Roman inscriptions dating from the fourth century AD. The book includes translations from well-known sources such as the Old Babylonian Code of Hammurabi, the Assyrian Sennacheribs Prism, Egyptian pharaoh Ptolemy Vs Rosetta Stone, and the Greek Parian Marble, as well as many less-known inscriptions such as the Semitic Ebla Tablets, the Phoenician Kilamuwa Stela, and the Etruscan Pyrgi Plaques.

Each inscription is accompanied by a translation, background context, and feature explaining a little-known aspect of the author, subject, or culture. Rendered into modern English, the quotations gives the lay reader an insight into the laws, lives, customs, and concerns of people who lived many thousands of years ago.]]> 4604 3.78 107 14 2009 6145671 190570495X 9781905704958 1 <![CDATA[Dark History of the Roman Emperors]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6145671.Dark_History_of_the_Roman_Emperors 4.00 1 4604 3.78 107 14 2008 5973626 0760753148 9780760753149 0 <![CDATA[Lewis And Clark, Voices From the Trail]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5973626.Lewis_And_Clark_Voices_From_the_Trail 4.00 1 4604 3.78 107 14 2737657 4.00 1 0 2004
