Complex history made easy!

This complex ancient history was always a mystery to me. It is so much easier to LISTEN to a well written overview than to tackle reading written works about it. I have tried that before and lost interest midway! I now feel much better informed and also inspired to look further into these civilisations via more Audible presentations. Thank you.
