Majestic empires, mysterious pyramids, mysterious cults and exciting battles - the Ancient World is rightfully considered the brightest era in history. It was then that civilizations and cults arose, man invented the wheel and learned agriculture, and poets created the first epics about gods and heroes. French historian Laurent Avezu invites us to plunge into a kaleidoscope of 100 greatest mysteries of ancient history on all continents of the world. Why were the first civilizations actually ruled not by people, but by gods? What is the mystery of Stonehenge? How did the legend of the warlike Assyrians come about? Who created the greatest Indian epic "Mahabharata"? On the pages of this book you will meet King Midas and Confucius, get acquainted with the rulers of Babylon and the heroes of the Trojan War, explore the Mesoamerican civilization of the Olmecs and the city-states of the Sumerians. Full of intrigue and mystery, this era of great achievements will not leave anyone indifferent.
"On the scale of the development of civilization, antiquity is only a drop in the ocean, but it has scattered many splashes." (Laurent Avezu)
