The Sumerians settled in the area known as Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, around 5,000 years ago. They produced many fundamental changes to the way in which human societies developed - these were the first city-builders, the first people to use wheeled vehicles, the first methodical astronomers, and the first people to develop a sophisticated written language. The Sumerians also produced art, music, and literature as well as created some of the first professional soldiers the world had ever seen.

Their tales of kings and gods, including the Epic of Gilgamesh, and their fearless trade in distant lands, during the remarkable Bronze Age, centered in the world’s first city-states that chronicled ancient rivalries and their enduring impact.

At every level, from languages to calendars to political systems, we are the descendants of a “classical Europe,” using frames of reference created by ancient Mediterranean cultures. As this consistently fresh and surprising new audio book makes clear, however, this was no less true for the inhabitants of those classical civilizations themselves, whose myths, history, and buildings were an elaborate engagement with an already old and revered past - one filled with great leaders and writers....

For 2,500 years, the Celts have continued to fascinate those who have come into contact with them, yet their origins have remained a mystery and even today are the subject of heated debate among historians and archaeologists. Barry Cunliffe's classic study of the ancient Celtic world was first published in 1997. Since then, huge advances have taken place in our knowledge: new finds, new ways of using DNA records to understand Celtic origins, new ideas about the proto-urban nature of early chieftains' strongholds. All these developments are part of this fully updated edition.

T. R. Fehrenbach brilliantly delineates the contrasts and conflicts between the many Mexicos, unraveling the history while weaving a fascinating tapestry of beauty and brutality: the Amerindians, who wrought from the vulnerable land a great indigenous Meso-American civilization by the first millennium BC; the successive reigns of Olmec, Maya, Toltec, and Mexic masters, who ruled through an admirably efficient bureaucracy and the power of the priests, propitiating the capricious gods with human sacrifices; the Spanish conquistadors, and much more.

In 1839 rumors of extraordinary yet baffling stone ruins buried within the unmapped jungles of Central America reached two of the world's most intrepid travelers. Seized by the reports, American diplomat John Lloyd Stephens and British artist Frederick Catherwood sailed together out of New York Harbor on an expedition into the forbidding rainforests of present-day Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico. What they found would rewrite the West's understanding of human history.

Historia
In 1519, the Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortés first met Montezuma, the Aztec emperor, at the entrance to the capital city of Tenochtitlan. This introduction - the prelude to the Spanish seizure of Mexico City and to European colonization of the mainland of the Americas - has long been the symbol of Cortés' bold and brilliant military genius. Montezuma, on the other hand, is remembered as a coward who gave away a vast empire and touched off a wave of colonial invasions across the hemisphere. But is this really what happened?

Historia
The Aztecs believed offerings of human blood and human lives were necessary to the continued running of the universe. Indeed, in Aztec myths, the gods themselves make sacrifices of their own blood and even of their entire bodies in order to create a universe humans can live in and, in one story, to create humans themselves. To the ancient Aztecs, these practices seemed fitting, necessary, and honorable, helping to connect the world of humans to the divine world of the gods, a universe that in Aztec myth took shape in cycles of creation, destruction, and rebirth.

Eye opening, captivating
I can now close my eyes and imagine how the great civilizations of Mesoamerica actually lived their lives. A far cry from the unclothed savages that elementary school history books described. It is a book not to condemn, judge or show prejudice but to appreciate and respect these great empires and the contributions they made. Mestizaje is a beautiful thing!

Hateful descriptions
Author made an offensive comment about having “fat lips” which was of course directed at Africans. People of African descent have full lips unlike other races;). Besides that comment, I’m enjoying the book so far.

A Mixed Bag, And Not The Best Work.
This collection is...okay. It really depends on what part of it you're listening to. This set collects the audio versions of four books, Captivating History's books on the Olmec Civilization, the Zapotec Civilization, Mayan History, and Aztec History, int that order. Duke Holm reads the first two parts, Olmec and Zapotec, and he's not a great narrator. His reading lacks a lot of energy or interest, and he has very odd pauses in his readings at times. Also, for the Olmec section, I could SWEAR I heard chair creaking and other noises in the background, so this is not the best production value. But the actual information in that section was pretty good, I think.
The Zapotec section, on the other hand is garbage, writing-wise. As others have said, it's mostly fluff, repeating the same things in different ways to pad it out, and with a lot of fanciful presumptions on the attitudes of Zapotec people, if that makes sense. Maybe it doesn't. Still total garbage. I eventually skipped that part entirely.
David Patton takes over for the other half, Maya and Aztec, and he's much better as a narrator. No awkward pauses at all. Both sections are okay, writing-wise, I think, though I will admit that sometimes, I heard the narrator breathing as he talked, rather loudly. That probably should have been edited out, and in the Aztec section, there was a point or two with what I will call bloopers. Sentences that are read and stop mid-way, only to start again, or bits that are repeated. And those errors are consistent, I checked.
So for the set overall, I think it mostly balances to about average.

Exceptionally engaging stuff.
Recommended to anyone who wants to comprehend Mexico, not just understand superficially. The author's effort is worth, thank to him.

Good take on Mesoamerica
This collection of Mesoamerican History brings some good information to the table. Overall, it is pretty well done, but there are some caveats.
As others have mentioned, the Olmec and Zapotec sections contain a lot of fluff to portray the same ideas over and over again. While it's understandable that a lot of the history for these 2 groups are speculation due to lack of "hard" evidence, repeating it for sake of repeating it does get a little stale.
The Mayan and Aztec portions are much better, as these have more archaeological findings to help prove theories or otherwise corroborate the histories.
The narrations for all 4 parts are fairly decent, but some fairly common words being mispronounced really detract from the listening experience. Several times I had to rewind portions just to listen to them again to try and grasp the meaning of the statement, simply because an important word was mispronounced. While this seems forgivable at first, the more frequent that it occurred, the harder it became to stay focused on the content. In spite of this, the remainder of the content was well done, and both narrators clearly convey a sense of enjoyment at the reading of the material (much like listening to a professor discuss a period of history that they are truly passionate about).

I am very glad I listen to it
Written in a conversational style that gets you through a lot of dense information and complexity regarding the timeline facts and dates. There is a strong social anthropology theme and it is consistent in tone and form. Each chapter has a quote to set the tone and ending paragraphs to summarize the gist. For me, this was important on a very personal level as I am delving into my ancestry that was only recently made known to me.

Excellent Overview of Mesoamerican Culture
This book serves both the novice and the scholar. It fills in a lot of the blanks that you do not get from more focused works. I recommend this book to anyone, wanting to know all the basic information on the civilizations of Mesoamerica.

Excellent....clear, absorbing.
This seemed like a monumental read but was never a chore. The book feels seamless, from one period to another. The per-Columbian period especially is fascinating since most of us know only Aztec and Maya. Highly recommended!

great history, lots of mispronouncing
I can forgive mispronouncing some words that aren't in your own language (even if it is the subject matter), or an occasional slip-up, and I have, but a professional narrator should learn how to say words like "rhetoric" or "electoral."
if you can muscle through that happening frequently, the actual history is very well written, and his cadence and vocal quality are relaxing.

Disappointed
Hard to take the content seriously when the narrator makes zero effort to pronounce Mesoamérican words properly.
