"Raven Todd DaSilva's debut book takes readers on a captivating journey through time, shedding light on the lesser-known ancient civilisations and archaeological cultures often overlooked in popular media. With a masterful blend of storytelling and well-researched facts, Da Silva brings archaeology to life, making it accessible and engaging for a wider audience. Her comprehensive analysis is an invaluable resource for historians, archaeologists, and anyone intrigued by the ancient world. Her fresh perspective offers a thought-provoking and enlightening guide to the diversity and complexity of ancient civilisations, extending far beyond the traditional narratives." --Natasha Billson, award-winning archaeologist and a lead broadcaster on The Great British Dig "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 travellers walk in the footsteps of today. The hits are all here, but so too are the obscure deep tracks. We see the likely son of a gardener planting the seeds of literature in Mesopotamia, the jungle shaman carefully hovering over the bones of the dead in the Amazon, and the first rumbles of the Minotaur in the Mediterranean. We ride on outriggers across Oceana and delve into an ancient super city on the banks of the Mississippi River. Hooked by these captivating tales, we are lead into the backstories of people and places that shaped the world as we know it today--and bring a new depth to modern life that ushers the curious traveller onwards across the globe." --Joe Sills, Forbes "Todd DaSilva had me at the contents list...what a great concept. An expansive book and well worth a read." --Ella Al-Shamahi, palaeoanthropologist and TV presenter "Totally brings obscure and unsung histories to life, you'll love it!" --Stefan Milosavljevich, author of Tales of Ancient Worlds "In this well-written and engaging volume, Raven Todd DaSilva presents a readable and interesting series of short takes on the archaeology of a wide variety of ancient and more recent societies, with stops as far afield as Japan, India, Crete, and the Americas. Even knowledgeable readers will find a smorgasbord of information within the discussions. Recommended for all ages, especially for those wishing to look beyond the usual tales of ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt." --Eric H. Cline, author of 1177 BC "The Akkadians, Jomon, Lapita, Marajoara, and the Mississippians: Raven Todd DaSilva takes us on a succinct journey through some of the world's less well-known complex societies. This is a treasury of ancient cultures; read about them in any order you like, a refreshing change. Each chapter briefly introduces a society, while a lengthy bibliography invites you to delve deeper into their intricacies. This is an excellent, thoroughly researched, and admirably illustrated introduction to the lesser-known highlights of our past that is ideal for beginners." --Brian Fagan, distinguished emeritus professor of anthropology, University of California, Santa Barbara, and author of People of the Earth, "Raven Todd DaSilva's debut book takes readers on a captivating journey through time, shedding light on the lesser-known ancient civilisations and archaeological cultures often overlooked in popular media.
