Forgotten Peoples of the Ancient World

This book was a delight. If you've ever wondered about an ancient civilization scarcely mentioned while reading about the Greeks or Romans, this is the book you've been looking for. It's arranged in chronological order from ancient history past the fall of Rome. I loved the tie-ins with art history and the modern echos as well. It's also a great source for the myriad civilizations mentioned in the Bible who aren't the Israelites, such as the Philistines, Samaritans, etc.
