"Across the Middle East, the Mediterranean and the Nile Delta, awe-inspiring, monstrous ruins are scattered across the landscape - vast palaces, temples, fortresses, shattered statues of ancient gods, carvings praising the eternal power of long-forgotten dynasties. These ruins, the remains of thousands of years of human civilization are both inspirational in their grandeur and terrible, in that their once teeming centres of population were all ultimately destroyed and abandoned. Richard Miles re-creates these extraordinary cities, ranging from Euphrates to the Roman Empire, to investigate the roots of human civilization"--Cover.
