What you won't find in a history textbook
This book, the third from the popular author of historical books for older children, focuses on the ancient period in Africa, Europe and Asia. It is divided into six parts that allow you to explore the lands and the lives of their inhabitants, primarily through remarkable, surprising and amusing facts that you won't find in history textbooks.
You will discover, for example: what a Sumerian schoolboy wrote in his diary six thousand years ago, why Egyptian women used to wear cones of fat on their heads, what an unusual Egyptian children's hairstyle looked like, that a hollow horse was probably not involved in the conquest of Troy, how Greek oracles cheated their clients, why Greek farmers wrote letters to mice, why Emperor Nero croaked, that in the Roman Empire, slaves were sold with a warranty, what Alexander the Great was looking for in India besides people with ears that reached the ground, why the Chinese imperial crown looked completely different from European crowns.
