Publisher: Time-Life Books Inc. 1975) The“Great Ages of Man” series was released in the mid-1960’s. Each volume undertakes to describe the major events that happened in one specific time period(or“age” in the development of mankind’s civilization(s) The volumes are richly illustrated. And designed as an introduction to the time frame covered. Especially compelling are the artists interpretations or recreations of what various ancient civilizations would have looked like– their architecture, homes, monuments, cities, daily life, jewelry, food, family life, dwellings, occupations, etc. As just one instance, the ruins of Babylon and Ur, Athens and Rome hint at the incredible richness of those fabled cities. The artist’s recreations in this series are simply mind-numbing. This is as close as you can be to actually having been there. Equally noteworthy are the photographic collections of artifacts and relics attributed to the specific age, really exceptional. The entire series is truly a magnificent introduction to the history of the era. If you could have just one book(or series of books)

Ancient Syrian Ostracon
Ca. 5th to 6th century AD. Ancient text inscription done on a pottery shard in black ink. At first we thought this was Coptic. As there are a few signs that'could' be loose Coptic letters(like A and Y) but they might just as well be signs in whatever other language this is. We then asked a colleague with expertise in Coptic, and she suggested it might perhaps be Syriac. Demotic also came up as a possible candidate, but again she was not sure. If it is either of these, the ostracon could well be much older than is stated now. We guarantee it's old and authentic, but we just can't guarantee the specific culture, so bid accordingly. 4"H. Provenance: Provenance: Acquired by the present owner's parents in Egypt during the 1930s-1940s.
