| "The Indus : Lost Civilizations" |
| "When the Greek army of Alexander the Great invaded the valley of the Indus river in the fourth century BC it was wholly unaware that this region of northwest India had once been the centre of a civilization worthy of comparison with those of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia The Indus civilization flourished for half a millennium from about 2600 to 1900 BC when it mysteriously declined and vanished from view It remained invisible for almost four thousand years until its ruins were discovered in the 1920s by British and Indian archaeologists Today after almost a century of excavation it is regarded as the beginning of Indian civilization and possibly the origin of HinduismMore than a thousand Indus settlements covered at least 800000 square kilometres of what is now Pakistan and India it was the most extensive urban culture of its age with a vigorous maritime export trade to the Persian Gulf and cities such as Ur The two largest Indus cities Harappa and Mohenjo-daro - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - boasted street planning and house drainage worthy of the twentieth century AD including the world's first toilets along with complex stone weights finely drilled gemstone necklaces and an exquisite part-pictographic writing system which was carved on seal stones and has defied numerous attempts at decipherment Astonishingly there is no evidence for armies or warfareThe Indus Lost Civilizations is an accessible introduction to every significant aspect of an extraordinary and tantalizing 'lost' civilization which apparently combined artistic excellence technological sophistication and economic vigour with social egalitarianism political freedom and religious moderation The book also discusses the vital legacy of the Indus civilization in modern India and Pakistan"

| "Egypt : Lost Civilizations" |
| "From ancient Rome to the present day ancient Egypt has been a source of fascin--ation and inspiration in many other cultures But why? Christina Riggs introduces the history art and religion of Egypt from its earliest dynasties to its final fall to Rome - and explores the influence ancient Egypt has had through the centuries Looking for a vanished past she argues always serves some purpose in the present Often characterized as a 'lost' civilization that was 'discovered' by adventurers and archaeologists Egypt has meant many things to many different people Ancient Greek and Roman writers admired ancient Egyptian philosophy a view that influenced ideas about Egypt in Renaissance Europe and the Arabic-speaking world In the eighteenth century secret societies like the Freemasons still upheld the wisdom of ancient Egypt This changed when Egypt became the focus of Western military strategy and economic exploitation in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries The remains of ancient Egypt came to be seen as exotic primitive or even dangerous embroiled as they were in the politics of racial science and archaeologyThe curse of the pharaohs or the seductiveness of Cleopatra seemed to threaten foreign dominance in the Middle East Other visions of ancient Egypt inspired modernist movements in the arts such as the Harlem Renaissance and Egyptian Pharaonism fuelled by the 1922 discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun Today ancient Egypt is ubiquitous in museums television documentaries and tattoo parlours - wherever people look for a past as ancient and impressive as they come"
