This list is for The 52 Book Club's 2026 Prompt: #1

Set In An Ancient Civilization

On earth, Ancient Civilizations ended by 650 CE/AD and there is a 500 year overlap with the start of the Middle Ages (it wasn't an exact stop.) Europe wasn't the most advanced civilization at the start of the Middle ages in math or the sciences.

From the post
According to Britannica Kids, “Ancient civilization refers specifically to the first settled and stable communities that became the basis for later states, nations, and empires.” Examples of prominent ancient civilizations include Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, the Indus Valley Civilization, Ancient China, Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, etc. https://kids.britannica.com/students/...

For this prompt, choose a book that is either fully or partially set within any ancient civilization. This may also be a non-fiction read about an ancient civilization or an individual who lived in one.

You may also choose a book set in an ancient civilization from another world or an alternate universe.
