The history of mankind

The objects left behind by humanity speak of a chapter of the past. Through them, we can learn much more about the lives of our ancestors than from dusty and, let’s face it, often boring textbooks. Turning through this unparalleled rich album, it turns out that our predecessors lived in a much more exciting and interesting world than we ever imagined. What homes did they live in, how were they buried, what gods did they believe in? What, how and from what did they eat and drink? How did they dress, work, have fun, study, travel, fight, and trade? we ask curiously. And the 1,000 objects here come to life and will tell us about 22,000 years of history. The compilers of the book did a great job of carefully avoiding commonplaces: they only selected items from the collections of hundreds of museums that we probably haven’t seen before. We will have an unforgettable journey from Northern Scandinavia to Easter Island, from the dawn of civilization to the present day, from the stone ax to the smartphone.
