Uncover the Hidden Stories of History’s Lost Civilizations.
Forgotten Empires: The Rise and Fall of Lesser-Known Civilizations takes you on an epic journey across continents and centuries to explore the rich legacies of powerful societies that time almost erased.

From the advanced urban planning of the Indus Valley to the maritime supremacy of Srivijaya, from Africa’s Christian empire of Aksum to the iron-working Nok culture, author FC Bohnke reveals the remarkable achievements, innovations, and mysteries of civilizations that shaped our world—but rarely make it into the textbooks.

Inside this book, you'll discover:

• In-depth accounts of 6+ lost empires from Africa, Asia, and the Americas
