Journey through 15,000 years of history and uncover hidden stories of the past.

The world has always been filled with vibrant cultures and civilisations. Yet, mainstream history is dominated by a select few. In this book, Raven Todd DaSilva invites you on an archaeological expedition across millennia and continents to discover the rich diversity of peoples who are often overlooked but have made monumental impacts that have shaped our modern world.

From the world's first peace treaty to daring expeditions across the Pacific, twenty ancient and historic cultures from around the world are highlighted, offering an alternative view of history. Each chapter investigates the archaeological evidence we have for each culture, delving beyond their rise and fall, and highlighting the magic in the mundane of everyday life in the past. Relive key historical events, explore ancient sites, and marvel at astounding artefacts that forever changed the way we understand history.



'If Indiana Jones wrote a guidebook, it might mirror what Raven Todd DaSilva has penned. The Other Ancient Civilisations gives life to the shadows of heroes and everyday people that travelers walk in the footsteps of today.'
