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 of their childhood—each scene evoking a faint sense of nostalgia. This series can be enjoyed as an art album while also serving as a reference for travelers to the world, helping them understand the must-see historical sites and landmarks. The overall design of Lost Civilizations is commendable, covering various ancient civilizations, including those on both the Old and New Worlds. This book is a popular read, yet its content retains a degree of professionalism, especially when translated into Chinese, which is no easy task. Copying the numerous illustrations within the book also presents challenges—truly worthy of praise and gratitude.
In Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, the local inhabitants initially engaged in farming, but arable land resources were very limited. Some of them became skilled in foreign trade at an early stage. Around the year 800 AD, many of them suddenly transformed into pirates, raiding the British Isles, Western Europe, and even the territory of modern-day Turkey. However, they later settled down again, farming the land and building towns in their homeland and the many colonies they conquered.
