Wonders of the Ancient World Antiquity's Greatest Feats of Design and Engineering

This is a compelling guide to antiquity's greatest constructions - how they came to be built and what then befell them. Wonders of the Ancient World describes the most extraordinary feats of human engineering and design from across the globe, created between the dawn of human civilisation and the onset of the Dark Ages. Author Justin Pollard looks at the problems that the ancients solved to build each wonder and introduces us to the travellers, both ancient and modern, who saw and rediscovered each site.
