Step back in time and witness how the greatest ancient cultures lived and thrived.

Ancient Worlds is a tour through history's most influential civilizations between 3000 BCE and 750 CE, capturing moments that reveal the culture and technology that made them great.

From Sumer, the world's earliest civilization, to the heyday of the Maya, the tour crosses every continent, taking in developments in urban planning, art and architecture, religion, warfare, trade, and cultural exchange. Discover how deep knowledge of the Sun, sea, and stars enabled ancient seafarers to navigate the Pacific Ocean; witness the highs and lows of a thrilling chariot race in the Roman Empire's greatest hippodrome; and marvel at the military might of the Mauryan Empire and its incredible war elephants.

Full of fascinating detail, each scene is a window on the lives of the most powerful and innovative peoples in times past. Ideal for children and parents to pore over together and explore similarities and differences with cultures around the world today.
