Diese kleine Geschichte der Welt zwischen 1000 v. Chr. und 300 n. Chr. löst sich souverän aus der eurozentrischen Perspektive. Der amerikanische Althistoriker Stanley M. Burstein weitet den Blick auf eine Antike vom Atlantik bis zum Pazifik. Nach einer Phase der Regionalisierung entstanden im gemäßigten Afro-Eurasien wenige Großreiche – Rom, das sassanidische Persien, das Jin-Reich in China, das Römische Reich – die mehr als die Hälfte der Weltbevölkerung beherrschten. Diese Imperien waren nicht voneinander isoliert. Ein ausgedehntes Netz von Handelsrouten verband sie mit Südost- und Zentralasien sowie mit Afrika südlich der Sahara und machte diese Periode zur ersten globalen Ära der Welt. Auch die neuen, auf Büchern basierenden Religionen – Zoroastrismus, Buddhismus, Christentum, Manichäismus – breiteten sich über diese Wege aus und stellten damit die Weichen für das nächste Jahrtausend. Burstein legt mit diesem klug komponierten, kompakten Band die erste Globalgeschichte Afro-Eurasiens in der Antike vor.

'This vivid and engaging book brings to life some of the most important moments in ancient history, moments that have shaped not only the politics and culture of bygone eras, but the institutions, thoughts and fantasies of our time.' Yuval Noah Harari (Sapiens) 'A bold and imaginative page-turner that challenges ideas about the world of antiquity.' Peter Frankopan (The Silk Roads) 'As panoramic as it is learned, this is ancient history for our globalised world.' Tom Holland (Dynasty, Rubicon) ________________________________________ Acclaimed historian and TV presenter Michael Scott guides us through an epic story spanning ten centuries to create a bold new reading of the classical era for our globalised world. Scott challenges our traditionally western-focused perception of the past, connecting Greco-Roman civilisation to the great rulers and empires that swept across Central Asia to India and China - resulting in a truly global vision of ancient history. With stunning range and richness Ancient Worlds illustrates how the great powers and characters of antiquity shared ambitions and crises, ways of thinking and forms of governing: connections that only grew stronger over the centuries as political systems evolved, mighty armies clashed, universal religions were born and our modern world was foreshadowed. Scott focuses on three epochal 'moments' across the ancient globe, and their profound wider significance: from 509-8 BCE (birth of Athenian democracy and Rome's republic, also the age of Confucius's teachings in China); to 218 BCE (when Hannibal of Carthage challenged Rome and China saw its first emperor); to 312 CE, when Constantine sought to impose Christianity on the Roman world even as Buddhism was pervading China via the vast trading routes we now know as the 'Silk Roads.' A major work of global history, Michael Scott's enthralling journey challenges the way we think about our past, re-draws the map of the classical age to reveal its hidden connections, and shows us how ancient history has lessons for our own times.

From about 2000 BCE onward, Egypt served as an important nexus for cultural exchange in the eastern Mediterranean, importing and exporting not just wares but also new artistic techniques and styles. Egyptian, Greek, and Roman craftsmen imitated one another’s work, creating cultural and artistic hybrids that transcended a single tradition. Yet in spite of the remarkable artistic production that resulted from these interchanges, the complex vicissitudes of exchange between Egypt and the Classical world over the course of nearly 2500 years have not been comprehensively explored in a major exhibition or publication in the United States. It is precisely this aspect of Egypt’s history, however, that Beyond the Nile uncovers. Renowned scholars have come together to provide compelling analyses of the constantly evolving dynamics of cultural exchange, first between Egyptians and Greeks—during the Bronze Age, then the Archaic and Classical periods of Greece, and finally Ptolemaic Egypt—and later, when Egypt passed to Roman rule with the defeat of Cleopatra. Beyond the Nile, a milestone publication issued on the occasion of a major international exhibition, will become an indispensable contribution to the field. With gorgeous photographs of more than two hundred rare objects, including frescoes, statues, obelisks, jewelry, papyri, pottery, and coins, this volume offers an essential and inter-disciplinary approach to the rich world of artistic cross-pollination during antiquity.

Encyclopedia of the Ancient World is a colorful and lively examination of some of the most important civilizations that have shaped our world. Each entry concentrates on a particular civilization, or series of civilizations, and combines its history with an explanation of who the people were and how they lived. An examination of respective belief systems and myths is also included. Reflecting the latest developments in archaeology and bio-geography, LEncyclopedia of the Ancient World explains how the ancient civilizations developed, and how they came to dominate their neighbors, how they evolved, and why they eventually declined or died out. Encyclopedia of the Ancient World also features 400 full-color and black-and-white photographs, as well as specially commissioned diagrams and reconstructions, that help to illuminate life as it was lived many centuries ago. The book concludes with an extensive time-line that places the civilizations in an historic context; a bibliography of suggested further reading; a glossary of useful terms; and a comprehensive index.
