Civilizations That Face-Planted: History's Greatest Ancient Fails, Flops & ""What Were They Thinking?"" Moments: A Fact-Packed Tour of Disasters, Miscalculations, Engineering Misfires & Political Meltdowns That Shaped the Ancient World


Overview

Ancient civilizations built wonders, forged empires, and shaped humanity - but they also messed up. Spectacularly. This fact book dives headfirst into the most astonishing failures of the ancient world: collapsed kingdoms, engineering projects that went hilariously wrong, rulers who self-destructed, cities that ignored every warning sign, and societies that accidentally engineered their own downfall. Packed with real, verifiable facts, this book uncovers the human side of history - the miscalculations, the hubris, the political chaos, the environmental blunders, and the ""we definitely should've seen that coming"" moments that textbooks tend to gloss over. From pyramids that nearly crushed their builders to empires undone by bad math, poisoned water systems, volcanic misreads, and disastrously overconfident kings, this is ancient history at its most dramatic, ironic, and unforgettable. Perfect for curious readers, history lovers, trivia fans, and anyone who enjoys learning from the past's most epic mistakes.
