Overview

The first book to portray the world's foremost archaeological sites exclusively from the air. The opportunity to see the beauty and grandeur of the world's foremost archaeological sites in their totality, as complete architectural units, is impossible on foot. From above, whether in a plane, helicopter or hot-air balloon, the entrenched fields seem to breathe new life, the cities recover the largeness of their dimensions, and the thermal baths and theatres seem ready to host their patrons again. This spectacular volume records the fabulous journey by a group of renowned specialist photographers, never before made, over the Pyramids of Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East, over the sites where the great Mediterranean civilizations arose, then hovering over the architectural jewels of the ancient Mesoamerican civilizations, beholding the complex structure of the historic cities of the Far East, and tracing the sinuous stone snake of the Great Wall of China. ILLUSTRATIONS: 192 colour photographs
