The year is 455 CE, and Rome has fallen. The streets swarm with barbarians in search of loot and plunder. The monuments and statuaries that give proof to the wealth and might of Rome have been stripped of their gilded facades. All that remains are the coarse, worn stone structures of an aging, dying civilization. Although the Vandals have not destroyed the city, they have destroyed the appearance of civilization that had separated Rome from the barbarians. To this day, the Vandals have been demonized historically for their role in the desecration of the Eternal City of Rome. So great was the Vandal sack of Rome that the term "vandal" originated to describe wanton acts of destruction and violence. Yet of all the barbarian civilizations encountered by Rome, the Vandals were one of the least populous, constantly forced off their lands by stronger neighbors. For centuries they sought a homeland. The story of the Vandals is a tale of exodus, a tale of searching for that which is never found. But that tale is not told by historians, for the Vandals accomplished that which few nations did; they attacked the heart of Rome, and caused the Romans to fear their very name. This is the story of the people who brought the light of civilization to its knees, and helped usher in the darkness of the Dark Ages.

The FranksThe Franks emerged during the decline of one of the world's most illustrious civilizations. Caught up in the winds of change, they fought both for and against the dying giant of the Roman Empire. The Franks were the cultural descendants of the ancient Gauls, who had long been a bogeyman to the Romans, after the collapse of Rome, they would endure as the living embodiment of ancient Rome. Through the Franks, the traditions and culture of the Roman Empire would continue during the Dark Ages, when all was lost to the ravages of barbarism in that period of time. Through the Franks, Rome would be re-consecrated under the auspices of Charlemagne and the creation of the Holy Roman Empire. The Franks would enter the historical record as one of many barbarian groups, and would evolve into one of the mightiest powers in Europe. It would be the legacy of the Franks that tore Europe apart during the First and Second World War, and it would be the legacy of the Franks that still divides many European nations. From antiquity to modern day, the Franks have had a profound impact on the shaping of the Western World.

Racing out of the east, their origins unknown, a new breed of barbarian arrived on the Roman frontier in time to find the Imperial Juggernaut on its last legs. Their warriors were taught to ride before they learned to walk, and they crafted a compound bow that was more powerful than anything the Romans had seen. The Huns were warrior nomads who arrived in Europe, breaking the fragile peace that had existed along the Roman border. Scores of barbarian tribes fled before the Huns, invading Rome in an effort to get away from the demon horse lords. As Rome was dealing with the conflagrations all along its borders, it found in the Huns an adversary they could not fight; so Rome paid for peace. Paying tribute to the Huns was enough to cause many believe that the End of Days had arrived, that the Huns were a scourge that had been sent by God against the wickedness of the Romans. Revelations had said that the Antichrist would be preceded by Four Horsemen; Attila arrived with over Forty Thousand. For the Romans, the arrival of the Huns would indeed be the signal for Judgment Day, for the beginning of the end.

About 5,000 years ago the first urban societies developed laying the foundations for the first civilizations. Nearly all civilizations share the same few features- they have abundant food surpluses, contained cities, political bureaucracies, armies, defined religious and social hierarchies and long distance trading. Ancient Egyptian culture flourished between c. 5500 BCE with the rise of technology (as evidenced in the glass-work of faience) and 30 BCE with the death of Cleopatra VII, the last Ptolemaic ruler of Egypt. It is famous today for the great monuments which celebrated the triumphs of the rulers and honored the gods of the land. The culture is often misunderstood as having been obsessed with death but, had this been so, it is unlikely it would have made the significant impression it did on other ancient cultures such as Greece and Rome. Neolithic means "e;new stone"e;, even though agriculture was the crowning achievement of the period. Civilizations started out small. Agriculture at first tended to tie only small groups together. These groups also all settled along rivers, important as a reliable and predictable source of water. As time passed, families usually worked the same plot of land over successive generations, leading to the concept of ownership. Ancient mortars and grinding tools unearthed in a large mound in the Zagros Mountains of Iran reveal that people were grinding wheat and barley about 11,000 years ago. Grass pea, wild wheat, wild barley, and lentils were found throughout the site, including some of the earliest known samples. This was much further east than most sites known for early agriculture. This book furnishes with utmost facility to all classes of readers, the needed information on ancient civilization. The unusual variety of the subject makes this a work of endless fascination.

Discover how humans created their world from the objects they left behind - from the US Constitution to the first iPhone - in DK's latest history ebook. From the beginning of human history, the one thing that has defined us is our talent for making things, from basic technology and everyday objects, such as bowls and hand axes, to high-tech inventions, such as supersonic aircraft, smart devices, and Mars rovers. Objects speak volumes about a civilization, telling us how our ancestors lived - as well as what they believed in and valued. A bronze cat mummy shows us how highly the ancient Egyptians valued their feline companions, while a mechanical tiger toy tells the story of rising tensions between an Indian sultan and European colonisers. With stunning, specially commissioned photography, Civilization shows you the objects that our ancestors treasured - from the jewellery worn by the Mesopotamians to the prized ritual vessels used by the people of the Shang dynasty - and gives you an insight into what gave each culture its own identity. From astrolabes and aeroplanes to vacuum cleaners and X-rays, DK uses its hallmark visual style to weave the extraordinary legacy of our creativity into a unique view of world history that will change the way you see the objects all around us.

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 remainder 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. In this major book, Richard Miles recreates these extraordinary cities, ranging from the Euphrates to the Roman Empire, to understand the roots of human civilization. His challenge is to make us understand that the cities which define culture, religion and economic success and which are humanity's greatest invention, have always had a cruel edge to them, building systems that have provided both amazing opportunities and back-breaking hardship. This exhilarating book is both a pleasure to read and a challenge to us all to think about our past - and about the present.

Excerpt from Ancient Times, a History of the Early World: An Introduction to the Study of Ancient History and the Career of Early Man Finally, when we recall that the leading religion of the world the one which still dominates Western civilization to-day came to us out of the Orient; when we further remember that before it fell the Roman Empire was completely orientalized, it would appear to be only fair to our schools to give them books furnish ing an adequate treatment of pre-greek civilization. This does not mean to question for a moment the undeniable supremacy of Greek culture, or to give it any less space than before. The author believes that no one who reads the chapters on Greece in this survey will gain the impression that Hellas has been sac rificed to Moloch in other words, to her oriental predecessors.
