The book "The Ancient World. The Complete Encyclopedia is an interesting format of children's popular science literature. Formally, it deals with the history of the Ancient World from the Stone Age to Rome inclusive: life, culture, architecture, crafts, military affairs, archaeological finds, historical heritage. But for each historical period there are illustrated instructions on how to do something characteristic of the material culture of the time in question with your own hands. The move is unexpected and interesting. History from the level of abstract knowledge suddenly becomes personal experience in the practical experience of the reader. There is a different quality of mastering the material, in which it will become more difficult for the "fomenkas" and other Ren TV to fool people's heads. On the other hand, it is simply interesting, even for an adult, to create ceramic dishes with their own hands using the technology used before the invention of the potter's wheel (44-45):


You immediately understand how laborious this process was and how much the potter's wheel revolutionized it. It is no less exciting to learn how to make a working band drill yourself, and use it to make fire. Quite a valuable skill, even now (28-29):




And if you make lessons for children based on the material of the book, then the classes will turn from not very clear and sometimes boring "duties", into interesting and exciting adventures that will teach not only history, but also skills that are useful in practical life. For example, the encyclopedia not only tells about what people of the Stone Age ate, but also gives a recipe for jam, with the ability to cook it and try it yourself (30-31):



Or not jam, but ancient Egyptian buns (108-109):



Unfortunately, the book is not without silly mistakes. For example, the classical period of ancient Greece is illustrated by works of art made a thousand years earlier and related to the Cretan-Minoan culture:

And here is the original from the Palace of Knossos in Crete (XV century BC).

Next page:

The boy with the bunches of fish is even older. This is a fresco from the island of Santorini (Fera). Mid 16th century BC.

On the one hand, of course, this is not so important in a book for children, but on the other hand, alas, it shows the general level of modern culture, when adults themselves are no longer able to properly date works of art and insert them according to the principle “to make it beautiful”.

The age marking is also a little confusing, judging by which the publication is addressed to "middle and senior school age." Senior in what sense? In high school, it would be time to read something more classical in history, however, as well as in culture. If such publications are indeed addressed to older students, then clearly "something is rotten in the Kingdom of Denmark." Although the illustrations in the book itself show cancer more likely to younger students, so perhaps the strange markings are the consequences of translation and adaptation.

Nevertheless, the book is still wonderful. One can only dream of such a thing as a child. hallmark The publication that distinguishes it from the mass of similar ones is the idea of ​​giving not only abstract knowledge of history, but also practical skills in material culture. The price of the book is about 800 rubles.

PS If anyone is interested in the format of the publication, then there is a book similar in spirit
