About the Book
The Rise of Ancient Indians: Their Cities, Art, Trade, and Science is an effort to connect with children and young adults, bringing them a part of our history that forms the foundation of our society. Spanning a vast timeline, the book takes a non-chronological approach to keep the narrative engaging rather than monotonous. It explores how our civilization and culture evolved over millennia-discovering art and science, building great cities, and embarking on adventures to distant lands.
The book not only presents evidence-based historical facts but also encourages readers to ask questions and seek answers. It includes multiple interactive activities that enhance learning, some of which require parental involvement, making the reading experience immersive for the whole family. By simplifying complex historical concepts, this book aims to foster an evidence-based appreciation of history and culture. By the end of the book, readers will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of their history and heritage.
Introduction
History is all about understanding the past. And when we say 'past', we don't necessarily mean just the kings, the battles they fought, and their dates. Our past is much more than just chronology and kingdoms.
History is also about how our ancestors lived, what they ate, how they travelled, how they spent their free time, and what kinds of toys children played with back then. It is about the discoveries they made and the places they explored. In this book, we will uncover some amazing facts about our history.
