This is the first volume of the famous series “Story of the World”, which teaches children and juveniles the history of our planet and the most important countries and civilizations. This volume focuses on the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea from the time of Abraham to the birth of Christ. It tells the avid reader not only about the Ancient Israelites, the Phoenicians, Egyptians, Scythians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans, concluding with the conquest of the entire Mediterranean by Rome, but also of the most important myths and legends that preceded what we perceive as history.
