Historie

Take an epic journey through the hilarious mistakes and baffling blunders that shaped civilizations.

Are you looking to learn unique and surprising facts about human history?

Do you want to listen to the quirks and fumbles that defined ancient eras?

Did you know that some of the biggest discoveries in history were born out of missteps?

More than simple errors, this audiobook about epic failures in ancient history is a testament to humanity’s resilience and people’s ability to learn, adapt, and advance despite the circumstances.

In this audiobook, you will:

• Traverse to stone-age trembles through the stories of Otzi, the Lascaux cave, and the discovery of Homo floresiensis. • Delve into ancient Egyptian anomalies like Snefru’s Bent Pyramid, Tutankhamun’s tomb, and Pharaoh Akhenaten’s revolution. • Explore ancient Greek mishaps, including the Sicilian Expedition, Aeschylus’s death, and the act of Herostratus. • Travel to the Roman Empire through stories about the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, Emperor Nero, and the Hypogeum. • Learn about the Ziggurat of Borsippa, King Sargon of Akkad, and unique Mesopotamian practices. • Embark with the Chinese Great Wall’s construction, Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s obsessions, and the Grand Canal’s initial building. • Learn about Indian curiosities like the Indus Valley city of Mohenjo-Daro, the great King Harsha’s legend, and the Nalanda University. • Gain an understanding of the most renowned Mesoamerican mishaps, beginning with the story of the Maya city of Tikal. • Explore unusual Norse legacies, like the Vinland Sagas and the acts of Ivar the Boneless.

Click on the “Add to Cart” button now and take a bold detour, focusing on the missteps that ironically offer profound insights into the human condition.
