Features: Since the dawn of humanity, our boundless wisdom, diligent hands, and love for life have been creating great civilizations that endure through the ages. The mysterious Egyptian pyramids, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Dead Sea Scrolls, and Parthenon – these ancient remnants of wisdom all tell the story of the splendid glory of 5,000 years of human civilization. However, the course of history has also been a thorny and arduous path: one abduction brought the Trojans ten years of war and the destruction of their city; a symbol of a nation's highest authority became the emblem of fascist dictatorship; the travelogue of an Italian merchant's son led to the discovery of the New World; the heroic act of a patriotic man brought disaster to his homeland; and the Czechs, who threw the king's envoy into a ditch to fight for autonomy, triggered the first large-scale international war in European history.
This book, arranged in chronological order, vividly and engagingly weaves together ancient civilizations, social changes, military conflicts, historical figures, major scientific and geographical discoveries over the past 5,000 years into a series of fascinating stories. From the earliest civilizations of humankind to the founding of the United Nations, the book narrates the course of human history in accessible language, aiming to introduce children to history in a relaxed and enjoyable way, allowing them to appreciate the artistic charm and infinite allure of great civilizations.
The fresh text complements the brilliant illustrations, making the complexities and mysteries of history less daunting and sparking children's curiosity and desire for knowledge. In this reading atmosphere, they instinctively follow the descriptions in the book, exploring the grandeur of human civilization and wandering through its magnificent halls, gaining valuable knowledge and experiencing the joy of the heart.
