Description
Why did Macedonian generals steal elephants from India to rule new realms? How did the lewd graffiti left by foreign workers in Egypt form the basis of the alphabet? The ancient world was a wide one - of conversation, commerce, theft, sex, war and enslavement. It was this restless global contact that built the West. From the Levant of 2000 BC to the dawn of the Age of Exploration, this book offers a new and vital history of our shared past.
