The History of the Ancient World

Numerous scientific works and museum exhibitions convince us that almost everything is known about the history of humanity, and historians have answers to almost any question. However, if we look more closely at the distant past, we will find many... contradictions and inconsistencies. For example, why did painters of the Middle Ages depict ancient characters as their contemporaries in clothing appropriate to the artist's time? And how could ancient warriors strike their enemies with bronze swords, if bronze is a fragile material and it is difficult to obtain a good cutting edge from bronze? And why is steel weaponry found in the excavations of the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs if Ancient Egypt did not know metal? Or did they know it after all? And how, ultimately, to explain the steel chisel that was found in the pyramid of Khufu, built 2900 years B.C.?
The new book in the "Complete History of the Eras" series will reveal to the reader the mysteries of distant antiquity.
