I like learning about the empires of the world that rose and fell & how they interacted.
As I’ve researched the topic, a lot of the books I’ve come across are very academic and hard to read,
I’m not interested in this topic academically, just as a hobby, so I’m looking for a book that is easily digestible.
To be specific, if there was one that had lots of artist renditions along with facts on the various ancient empires (Hussites, Assyrians, Sumerians, Babylonians, Hittites, etc) that would be awesome.
I’m mainly interested in the Middle East and European empires. I’m not just interested in one empire, more just about how regions changed.
If there’s a book that is structured in a way where each empire / group is separated into its unique section, that would be perfect.
I like learning about various wars, advancements, important events and people, transitions of power
I love artists renditions of landscapes and cities in books, bonus if the book has lots of those
Thanks in advance!
