Featuring seventeen beautiful hand-illustrated maps and packed with eye-opening information about ancient civilizations and peoples, this is an unbeatable pictorial guide to what the world was like between 10,000 B.C. and A.D. 1000. Each stunning map shows the major sites from a particular civilization or group of civilizations, with their cities, temples, palaces, farmers, and traders brought vividly to life with detailed picture symbols. Feature spreads use photographs of cultural and architectural artifacts, as well as additional information, to focus in greater depth on the key cultures of Egypt, Greece, and Rome.

5.0 out of 5 stars
the quick and dirty,
This review is from: The Kingfisher Atlas of the Ancient World (Hardcover)
I got this book for my daughter. It's "pretty" with nice big maps, colored pictures, etc. I quickly read through it and everything seemed in order and factually correct. It's not in-depth, but it does hit all the high points on all the major ancient civilizations. A nice little reference, or introduction to ancient history for kids.

Bought this to go alongside the Kingfisher World History Encyclopedia I use with my older kids. The younger ones can now get more involved. Works great!
