This takes a sweep from the first human footsteps in Africa to the fall of Rome, the greatest empire of the ancient world. Among many landmarks on the way, farming and metals are discovered, the wheel and writing are invented and the first cities and empires founded, from the Mayan in Mexico to the Han in China. Check in with peoples, lands and achievements that seem (but are not) the stuff of myths: the Hittites and Trojans, the empire of Alexander and the raising of mighty pyramids in Egypt.
