A General History of the World: An Illustrated Collector’s Edition

After reading this book, I learned that the Egyptian pyramids are the tombs of the pharaohs. After the pharaohs died, their bodies were mummified and stored in the pyramids. The Egyptian pyramid complex is scattered in the Kissa and Saqqara areas on the west bank of the lower reaches of the Nile River, located more than 10 kilometers south of Cairo. The base of the pyramid is square, and each side is built upward in a triangular shape. When completed, it becomes a pyramid-shaped stone tower. Because its four sides resemble the Chinese character "gold", it is translated as "pyramid" in Chinese. The construction of the pyramid represents the glorious achievements of ancient Egypt in architecture. The pyramid is not only the highest achievement of Egyptian culture, but also marks the maturity of Egyptian culture. Pyramids, temples, palaces and other majestic buildings have gone through thousands of years and still shine with the light of art.

This set of books belongs to the humanities and social sciences, and is an entry-level history book. It is very similar to a textbook. It can be a bit boring to read, and the story is not strong, but it is really informative and rewarding! It laid a good foundation for my subsequent reading of history books. Overall this book is still very good! A very systematic world history book that clears up the context of world history! We can tie the history we have learned before into a thread, from prehistoric humans to the second industrial revolution. It is very systematic and clear.

This book is really great! It presents world history in full-color illustrations, making me feel as if I have traveled through time and space and appreciated the elegance of each period. The content in the book is rich and diverse, from the origin of mankind to modern society, each stage is introduced in detail, and Mark Bloch's famous quotes are also quoted, which made me more deeply aware of the importance of history. Moreover, by reading this book, I learned about the diversity of world history, and that different countries and regions have unique development trajectories. All in all, this is a book worth reading and I recommend it to everyone!

"History takes human activities as a specific object. It has thoughts for thousands of years, sees thousands of miles, and is fascinating. Therefore, it can stimulate people's imagination more than other subjects." - French historian Marc Bloch. History is full of charm. By reading history, we can understand the world from the perspective of the ancients and learn lessons from what happened in history. Understanding the history of the entire world is even more important for us.

Since the origin of civilization, the earth has gone through countless spring and autumn periods. Rivers are always the first place of origin. The "Harappa Culture", the urban ruins in the Indus River Basin, is one of the earliest writing systems in the world. The Gulf War is the last chapter in the book, which took place in the 1990s. From the rise of the pyramids in Egypt to the Gulf War in Iraq, this book records a large number of historical events and outlines the process of world history. Civilization is advancing and wars are escalating.
