At 36 lectures in length, and most of the content unfamiliar to me, this was a lot to absorb in a short period of time. I'd have to listen through at least one more time in order to increase understanding. ( ) Listening to a litany of overlords and brutes through the millennia really brings home the futility of men's self-important and self-destructive need for absolute power. Their fragile egos can't let them exist in any kind of harmony; nope, they have to dominate, but they have no insight into how brief, silly and ultimately forgotten they are no matter how many of their "enemies" they slaughter. And of course women were mere property with which to barter and wheedle. I can only imagine the heights of achievement humans could have reached if this energy and zeal were put to things other than killing and the subjugation of other people. It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic. Depressingly final. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Complete your knowledge of the ancient world with this comprehensive look at the dozen empires that flourished in the 2,000 years before the conquests of Alexander the Great. Over the course of 36 insightful lectures, you'll follow the Egyptians, the Mycenaean Greeks, the Persians, the Carthaginians, and others as they rise to glory, create administrative and military structures, clash with one another, and eventually collapse. Professor Dise immerses you in the political, administrative, and military details of these thrilling civilizations, analyzing three basic questions: How did this particular empire emerge? How was it governed and defended? How and why did it ultimately fall? These questions raise a host of profound issues on the growth, development, and failures of vast imperial systems. Grounded in a chronological approach, you'll find no better guide through the palatial halls, administrative offices, and war-torn battlefields of these empires than Professor Dise. Each lecture is packed with a range of rich sources on which our current understanding of the ancient Near East rests, including cuneiform tablets, colorful narratives, and archaeological remains. As you comb through these intriguing records, you quickly become more informed about how the past is recorded and passed down to subsequent generations. Spanning thousands of years of human history and encompassing regions both familiar and forgotten, this course is a remarkable tour through the farthest reaches of the ancient world - in all its marvelous diversity.
