Civilizations and peoples are like stars: they rise, reach their zenith, illuminating an era with their light, only to fade at the height of their glory. The Sumerians, who gave the world writing and built the first cities, the ancient Egyptians, to whom we owe the great wonders of the world, the legendary Phoenician seafarers, and the subjects of the invincible Inca Empire—all have left an indelible mark on human history. But some shone in the sky for centuries, while others shone only as a bright, brief flash.

This colorfully illustrated atlas is a guide through time and space, to the long-forgotten but still magnificent worlds of the past, from the inhabitants of Easter Island, lost in the ocean, to the heroic warriors of Sparta and the Native Americans who fell at the hands of colonizers. On these pages, the shadows of forgotten kingdoms come to life, echoes of ancient languages are heard, and grand battles unfold once again, inviting the reader to unravel the mysteries of vanished peoples.
