Cory's Ancient Fragments,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cory's Ancient Fragments of the Phoenician, Carthaginian, Babylonian, Egyptian and Other Writers (Paperback)
Excellent source of information on many ancient civilizations! I highly recomment it to all in search of the history and knowlege of the most ancient civilizations. Not, however, for the average reader. You need some knowledge of the past before studying this book.
