Ancient History: A Concise Overview of Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Rome: Including the Egyptian Mythology, the Byzantine Empire and the Roman Republic

by Eric Brown

Through exploring the ancient Egyptian ruins and tombs, we have been able to learn much about their way of life, views of the afterlife, religious beliefs, dynasties, invasions from foreign kingdoms, battle tactics, family, and more... There are few things as fascinating and exciting as the world of Ancient Greece, and in the following book, you are going to learn everything you’ll ever need to know about the history and socio-political makeup of the world of Ancient Greece. Where did Greek culture come from? When did it begin to taste shape? Where there any precursors to the Ancient Greeks? Few societies and historical periods capture our fascination as much as ancient Rome. With a founding steeped in legend, along with the rise and fall of a monarchy, a republic, and an empire filled with colorful, and often even bizarre, leaders and popular figures, it is no wonder that it has been the source of inspiration for a multitude of novels, movies, and television shows. While this entertainment fare has had varying degrees of historical accuracy, a great deal of artistic license does not need to be taken to make the story of ancient Rome intriguing and scintillating. It was a society and a people rich with a drama that still captures our interest even today, more than 1500 years since the fall of the great Roman Empire.

Great intro to ancient history of Egypt,Greece and Rome

A lot of information presented concisely. This easy read is a great introduction to ancient history. Organized well and thorough

[Monika Shouse · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was more like a book report than a book. Concise? Abbreviated is a better description.

[Jsaa · Rating 2 out of 5]

Encountered too many missing words/ typos early on. (Kindle edition) reported and moving on

[Rowanne · Rating 1 out of 5]

In short: not worth reading

[Erik · Rating 2 out of 5]

I do not think this was written by an historian

This reads like an extended student book report. There's nothing really wrong with it, but it has no depth to it.
