Its name means ‘centre of the world’, and since the dawn of history the Mediterranean Sea has formed the shared horizon of innumerable cultures. Here, history has blurred with legend. The glittering surface of the sea conceals the remnants of lost civilisations, wrecked treasure ships and the bones of long-drowned sailors, traders and modern refugees.
Of the many cities that dot this ancient coastline, Tyre, Carthage, Syracuse, Ravenna and Antioch are among the oldest and most intriguing. All are beautifully situated, and for layers of history and cultural riches they are rivalled only by their sister cities of Rome, Istanbul and Jerusalem. Yet their fates have been remarkably different. Once major power centres, all five have declined into relative obscurity. Nevertheless, their entwined history takes in Alexander the Great, Nebuchadnezzar, Archimedes and the Roman, Byzantine, Arab and Norman conquests, and their greatness still lingers for those who seek it out.
To bring these mysterious lost capitals to life, historian Katherine Pangonis sets out on a voyage from the dawn of civilisation on the Lebanese coast to a modern-day Turkey wracked by the devastation of the 2023 earthquake. Combining on the ground research with spellbinding storytelling skills, here is a revelatory new story of the Mediterranean, and a powerful reflection on the sometimes fleeting glory of empires.

this is far more better book about ancient cities then the one posted before. but I still don’t understand why she must insert Jerusalem there as sister city there were better Canaanite Aramaic built cities other than Jerusalem. Like Damascus, Akker, Ascalon, Pella, Jericho, Megiddo, Gaza and others in Palestine, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon with Nabataean cities too in Jordan and Palestine. I wish she added Aleppo and Cyrene.

@Within
Obviously it’s all about branding based on name recognition.

Great stuff again, Mojo. Ignore the ignorant nazi Within - who is triggered by anything to do with the great ancient Jewish homeland of Israel (or black people, or Irish people, or Indians, etc. etc.).

@Thamus yeah it seems so since its not Mediterranean coastal city anyway.

Zionist fundamentalist Caesar963 is teaching us the definition of hate WOW!
July 29th, 2023
…yes, you. You gave details of all the peoples you hate & despise, those against whom you thirst for genocide, & during which you “will feel no pity.” Your “hate exist for a reason,” you irrationally drooled. Alongside other nazis, whom you described as “strong allies.” There you are!

Howdy Mojo. What a treat this one is.Thanks a million for posting. On the cheeky side, is there a chance for posting another of Katherine Pangonis’s books - ”Queens of Jerusalem: The Women Who Dared to Rule”?
