Fallen Glory
James Crawford
Recommendation inspired by:
Did Ancient Troy really exist? - Einav Zamir Dembin
Fallen Glory is a fascinating journey to citadels, temples, towers, and stadiums that once stood all over the ancient world. Each chapter is devoted to one site, and traces not only the lives and death of these imposing structures, but also the buildings and people that have occupied their physical locations since, and even their legends in art and literature. It debunks numerous myths, and in some case replaces them with even more unbelievable history.
