This magnificent illustrated encyclopedia combines learning with enjoyment in its tales of the lion hunt of the Assyrian kings, of the building of the Pyramids of Giza, of the earliest development of writing, mathematics and the science of astronomy.
Bright new illustrations and photographs of all the ancient sites and objects, from pyramids and fabulous palaces to pharaohs and horse warriors, will enthral any reader.
Step-by-step practical projects and fun-filled fact boxes bring the past alive as children build their very own pyramid, bake pastries from a centuries old Egyptian recipe and design a tunic fit for an Assyrian king.
