Puzzle of the Barbarian World: an Encyclopedia of European Prehistoric Inhabitants
About This Novel
This book is one of the "Lost Civilizations" series and won the 2018 Society of American Archeology Popular Book Award. The flourishing Greek and Roman civilizations in Mediterranean Europe did not develop in isolation. To their north, from the Atlantic to the Urals, uncivilized peoples lived in river valleys, mountains, plains and coasts. The stories of these people, although known almost only through archaeological excavations of their settlements, offerings, monuments and tombs, are as compelling as those of great cultures and urban civilizations. Through the latest discoveries of these people, analysis of related celebrations, tourist attractions and even political events, we can discover wonderful European prehistoric societies that actually echo the present day. From the Stone Age to the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West, this book introduces the history of the barbarians, their evolving technological achievements and unique behaviors that were only belatedly recorded in writing, mostly in the form of second-hand records. This book focuses on the important discoveries about barbarians. The author Peter Bergaki narrates these discoveries through the introduction of the long-term continuous development of ancient societies, the modern understanding of the nature of ancient societies, and the rich heritage left by ancient societies. This book is written by an authoritative scholar for the general public. It is comprehensive in content, concise and easy to understand, and has exquisite pictures. It can bring knowledge and interest to readers who are interested in ancient history, human civilization, and European and world history. It will supplement and enrich domestic readers' understanding of "barbarians".
