I consider myself a novice traveler, as I’ve only visited less than 15 countries in the past 10 years and mostly in Asia and Europe. I have so much awe and curiosity whenever I see/hear the stories behind famous places and landmarks and I am hungry to learn more about how the nations have developed since ancient times.
Is there a standalone book that covers the beginning of ancient history (Aztecs, Mayans, Egyptians), the Roman empire, the silk trade, international conquests, all the way up to Second World War?
Suggestions for multiple titles are also welcome.
