Description: From Caesar to Napoleon, the Pyramids to the Parthenon, the Trojan War to the Civil War-National Geographic History draws readers in with more than 5,000 years of people, places, and things to explore. It was first published in 2015. The 96-page November/December 2021 issue of this magazine is available and as always, it does not disappoint. The best part about this magazine is there are very few adds! The cover story is titled: Longships in the Mediterranean - Viking hell-raiser Bjorn Ironside sowed terror in France and Spain before setting his sights on the Mediterranean world. From A.D. 859, he sacked cities from Morocco to Italy but failed to bag the biggest prize of all: Rome. Other featured articles include: The Lighthouse of Alexandria - Towering over the port founded by Alexander the Great, the Alexandria Lighthouse was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Its lamp guided sailors and amazed travelers until it fell in the Middle Ages. The Birth of Jesus - Bethlehem, the magi, and a blazing star: The familiar sights and characters found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke provide intriguing historical hints of the world at the time of Jesus' birth. America's First Metropolis - The terraces of Monks Mound still rise high over the site of Cahokia, an American Indian city that thrived from A.D. 1000 until it was mysteriously abandoned by the 15th century. The Orient Express - Starting in 1883, the posh train line whisked the elite and powerful from Paris to Constantinople, a journey that became synonymous with glamour and intrigue. Other Departments include: News - A child was laid to rest in Stone Age Kenya 78,000 years ago. The discovery of the oldest burial yet found in Africa has revealed new insights into the tenderness at the heart of early funeral rites. Profiles - Louisa May Alcott became a household name after she wrote Little Women in 1868. The book and its sequels' successes granted financial freedom to the author, who had faced economic hardships since her childhood. Daily Life - Japan's tea ceremony is a mainstay of Japanese culture thanks to its deep historical roots. Known a the "way of tea," this ancient ritual has been shaped by centuries of religion, politics, and philosophy. Discoveries - Shattered stone statues emerged from a field in 1970s Sardinia. Once towering over an Iron Age cemetery, dozens of these figures from Mont'e Prama have been rebuilt, revealing the artistry of their creators. This magazine has been read but is in fantastic shape. The cover price for this magazine is $9.99. Due to changes in USPS policy and a recent postage rate increase, I have had to raise my shipping costs. I have a number of magazines covering various subjects listed for sale on EBay. I apply a shipping discount on multiple purchases. Please let me know if you are interested.
