Horizons of the Ancient World (Extended edition): Travels on the history of mankind

In the extended edition, we will try to reveal the secrets of Mohenjo-Daro, will go to the ruins of the flooded ghostly city and learn about the ancient history of the Babylonian Ziggurats.

World history holds a lot of mysteries. Despite increasingly sophisticated methods and billions of dollars of research budgets, science has not explained some things.

How reliable is the information that tells us written and other historical sources inherited from ancient civilizations? After all, they were created by living people who, like us, were also characterized by many weaknesses - the desire to embellish reality, forgetfulness and a whole set of very different superstitions inherent to the time when the creator of the testimony of the era lived.
What is history for man? Weapons that help him understand his opponent in society and successfully confront him?

Or maybe this is just something akin to a myth, and this or that historical concept entirely depends on the skill of its “narrator”? Or is there still some objective data about certain events of the past, according to which we can create a fairly consistent picture of it?

In this book, we will try to lift the veil of secrecy over some historical mysteries and the origin of ancient civilizations.
