A Glorius Look At the Ancient World

Note: Your "helpful" votes are appreciated. Thanks. I bought this heavy, large-format book new and have never regretted the price, and now you can buy it used for a few dollars. This book with its long shots and close-up takes you right to the mysterious places of the world. I'm just now looking at the large-format photo of "Petra, the Rose Red City." I never realized how big the church carved in the cliff is! The book covers ruins from all over the world, including Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas and Oceania (great photos of the statues on Easter Island). The commentary is well-written and gives the reader valuable insights into the various civilizations. If you like to curl up with a good book on a cold winter's night, this is the one. The sunny photos make me want to pack up and go traveling. Highly recommended.
