Journey back to humanity's most dramatic power grab in this fascinating historical exploration from the legendary Time-Life Books team. **The Age of God Kings** dives deep into that wild period between 3000-1500 B.C. when rulers weren't content with just being bosses—they declared themselves actual deities. Talk about workplace hierarchy!

This isn't your dusty textbook treatment of ancient history. Instead, you'll discover how pharaohs, Mesopotamian kings, and other megalomaniacs built civilizations while convincing everyone they had hotlines to heaven. The book brilliantly weaves together archaeology, politics, and human psychology to show how these god-king societies shaped everything from law to art.

Perfect for history buffs, archaeology enthusiasts, or anyone curious about humanity's relationship with power and religion. Time-Life Books built their reputation on making complex historical periods accessible without dumbing them down.

This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks shows some character but remains completely readable.
