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 recollection. This series can be enjoyed as an art collection 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 continents. 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 poses challenges—truly worthy of appreciation and gratitude.
As one of the earliest inhabited regions and the birthplace of the three major religions, the area known as the Holy Land is a small, hilly region in the Near East, with a long and tumultuous history. From the late 13th century BCE, when the Israelites appeared in Canaan, to the early days of Christianity, this period is one of the most fascinating in the history of the Holy Land. For a long time, the Bible has been the primary source for understanding this era. Recent archaeological discoveries have provided new perspectives and insights into this period and even deeper into the past.
