From the first hunting and gathering societies to the great Nubian kingdoms of Kush, Africa has for centuries been the centre of great cultural activity across its mountains, deserts, and rainforests. This book portrays the major civilisations of the ancient African era using maps, photographs and illustrations.

The ancient Incas developed a government based on the conquest of neighbouring communities, at the same time preserving the local customs and traditions of the cultures that came before. This book features images that portray the land now known as Peru, as well as the astounding people who lived there prior to the arrival of the Spanish.

The Indus River Valley was once home to thriving communities of peoples who worked the land now known as Pakistan. Some of the world's oldest civilisations, including the Harappans and the Maurya and Gupta empires, grew in this fertile region. This book documents the lives of these remarkable people from long ago.
