Ancient Wonders: Then & Now
The ancient historical sites would be fascinating to see! Unfortunately, we can't all take a tour of these amazing places; however, this interactive book is the next best option! It is full of interesting information of the ancient civilizations: who built them, what they once looked like, and what they look like today. Lift the flaps and learn about the city of Alexandria during Cleopatra's rule or how the Roman baths were structured. Learn how the Colosseum was built and how the seats were structured. In all, there are twelve different wonders for children to explore: Angkor Wat, Machu Picchu, The Roman Baths, The Parthenon, The Colosseum, Stonehenge, Petra, The Great Pyramid of Giza, The Terracotta Army, Cleopatra's Palace, Chichen Itza, and Easter Island.
Ancient Wonders - Then & Now introduces children to some of history's most famous civilizations and the amazing palaces, temples and buildings they created. In this interactive and fact-filled tour, kids will discover all about each man-made marvel, what it looks like today, and its influence on modern life.
