Features: The volumes of "Lost Civilizations" showcase the trajectory of the emergence and early transformation of civilizations, long forgotten by later generations. Reading them is like an adult revisiting old photographs of their childhood—each scene evoking a faint recollection. This series of books can be enjoyed as an art album while also serving as a reference for travelers to the world, helping them understand the must-see ancient sites and scenic spots. A lone small boat sails across a vast expanse of the Tigris River in modern-day Iraq, with endless palm trees on both banks. The rising sun casts the boat as a silhouette. This ancient scene brings to mind the world's oldest civilization—Sumerian civilization. Sumerian civilization emerged in the arid alluvial plains between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, which were its lifeline.
