Tracing the historical rolling river, the ancient empire is very fascinating. From the Pat Lennon temple in Athens to the Egyptian pyramids, the ancient magnificent architectures not only remind us of the greatness of their builders, but also make us wonder what enormous forces it takes to destroy those incredible buildings. The Fall of Empires presents the rise, conquest and dominance of the sixteen greatest ancient empires. In this book, readers can see how the wily priests manipulate the fate of millions of people, and what disasters brought to people by the evil aristocracy. Through multiple angles, this book tells readers that decline is the inevitable common fate of those ancient strong empires.
