Modern photographs and artists' reconstructions depict twenty of the world's ancient sites, as they are today and as they were in their period of greatness

From Library Journal:

This is a spectacular glimpse of 20 ancient architectural wonders representing various civilizations from ancient history. A small format was selected (about 24 cm. high), yet this volume is packed with superb illustrations of artifacts and short, interesting discussions of the cultural milieu of each site. Each monument selected includes an area photograph of the monument as it looks today, enhanced by an acetate overlay supplying reconstructions of original features. For most libraries; it will appeal to readers interested in ancient history, archaeology, and the artistic splendor of the ancient world.
