About The Book:
-
What Happened In History is a thought-provoking book by Gordon Childe, in which he explores the changes in material well-being and mental outlook throughout history, particularly after the breakup of the Roman Empire.
-
The author provides an insightful survey, discussing periods of Palcolithic and Mesolithic savagery, Neolithic barbarism, the rise of Metal Age cultures, and more, leading up to the unification of the Old World brought about by the campaigns of Alexander the Great.
-
The book culminates in a stimulating chapter where Childe presents his views on the decline and fall of the ancient world.
-
With numerous facts and background material, this book is designed to stimulate thought and help readers understand the broader story of human development. It also serves as a valuable tool for reflecting on the potential lessons we can learn as our own civilization, currently at risk, undergoes reconstruction.

Gordon Childe, regarded as the father of modern archaeology, authored several other well-known works, including The Dawn of European Civilization, The Most Ancient East, The Prehistory of Scotland, Man Makes Himself, and more, cementing his legacy in the study of prehistory and archaeology.
