Barrinton
atlas
|
| Finally,
after years in the making, this atlas is finished and I'm glad
to have it. This is a great work, all the detailed knowledge
about location of cities, shrines, roads, etc, etc., etc., that
has been gathered about Roman and Greek sites has been put together
in just one atlas. Even individual estates are placed on maps,
when convenient. Seamlessly, from one map to another you can
trace any route, find any name, and look into the neighboring
area. |

The
complete idiot's guide to Lost Civilizations
If you want a good entertaining view of Archaeology, check
this book out. Dr Ryan's sense of humor and immense knowledge
that I experienced while taking a couple classes by him at
a local college, really comes out in his book. He gives the
same amount of attention to all the major civilizations and
also delves into what some of us may consider "kooky" areas
of archaeology without being critical. For someone that may
be interested in becoming an Archaeologist he tells you what
to expect and where to go for information. I didn't really
think Central and South American archaeology was very interesting
but after reading this book, I'm rethinking that opinion.

Artifacts
of Ancient Civilizations

Imagine
holding a Neanderthal stone tool or a lamp that lit the darkness
of ancient Rome. Few people realize that such items can be
bought often for less than $300. This only guide of its kind
lists an array of inexpensive antiquities that were made in
Europe and Western Asia before the fall of Rome or in pre-Columbian
America. This Official guide is the key to uncovering affordable
ancient treasures. Photos throughout .

The
Keys to the Temple
|
|
Having
read many books and theories on the pyramids, it was refreshing
to read for once a book filled with actual FACTS, rather than
an author's conjecture. I like to read this book as it contains
many mathematical and geometrical FACTS and in such quantity
that a reader is able to piece together their own theory.
As it seems obvious that the pyramids contain much mathematics
and geometry in their design it is good to read a book by
an author very well versed in these subjects.

Egypt,
Greece and Rome
|
|
This
history is very useful to see both ancient Egypt and the Classical
tradition separately and in tandem, making a fine study of
the bridge between civilizations. Like acorns under a great
oak tree, Greece and Rome resolve their beginnings in the
field spawned by Egypt. This is a very usefully done work
with excellent references and makes a good tool for the branching
out into more specialized areas, without losing a picture
of the whole.
