Features: The volumes of "Lost Civilizations" showcase the trajectories of the origins and early transformations of civilizations, long forgotten by later generations. Reading them is like adults revisiting old photographs from their childhood—each scene evoking a faint recollection. This series can be enjoyed as an art collection while also serving as a reference for travelers to various parts of the world, helping them discover the must-see ancient sites and landmarks. The rich historical materials of Mesopotamia entice scholars to venture east into Iran, not just to Persepolis, but to the thousands of mounds scattered across vast regions, concealing ancient ruins. They uncovered precious remnants of past glories: cities densely lined with palaces, temples, and towering statues, inscriptions that prove the existence of ancient kingdoms, as well as ornaments, armor, jewelry, and royal insignia crafted from gold and silver.
