This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Ancient History (Hardcover)

WOW!! This book is incredible, when you buy it you will not want to let it go. This encyclopedia is ilustrated with very beautiful color images of all things related to ancient history and society. This book talks about the paleolithic, china, japan, incas, maya, greek, roman, egiptian culture and even more. Each segment of the book concerning one of the culture talks about every aspect: from their food, religion, clothing, jewelry, crops, rituals, animals, music, instruments. Well you name it, you're going to get it. At the bottom of the pages you will see easy to do projects for kids and even for adults concerning that culture. For example, the book teaches you to make a musical instrument just like the one the egiptians used or how to make a paper mache mask that resembles the incas or mayas or how to make an armor just like the roman soldiers among other great projects. You will not make a mistake in buying this book. It is fun and very educational.
