About this audiobook
This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS).
As you sit there in front of the comforting glow of the television screen, the world outside continues as normal. Often, we are oblivious to the fact that ours is but one of many empires that have risen and fallen throughout the course of human history.
Yet ours is not an empire of a single state, ruled by some emperor. Ours is a global empire – an empire of connection, technology, and consumption. To most, the thought that this globalised, technologically advanced world, is just as fragile as those that came before us seems absurd. Yet the deserts are littered with the great crumbling monuments of once seemingly invincible nations, the citizens of which would have thought the same.
Those who understand the patterns of human civilisation cannot look around and think that what they see will last forever. The great works we build today will be the crumbling monuments of some future desert. We must therefore look to the past to understand both present realities and future possibilities.
So, join us now as we explore the rise and fall of past empires. You shall journey through vast cities, witness the creation of grand architecture marvels, worship strange gods long forgotten, and see a reflection of ourselves in the citizens of these empires.
