What happened before the first cities appeared? Who built the ancient sites that still defy easy explanation? And why do stories of devastating floods appear in cultures separated by thousands of miles?In First Cities, Ben Van Kerkwyk follows the clues left in stone, soil, and ancient accounts. From early settlements and monumental ruins to flood traditions and disputed timelines, he asks whether the familiar story of civilization’s beginnings leaves out more than it explains.Written for readers drawn to archaeology and the mysteries of the ancient world, First Cities challenges you to look again at the builders, disasters, and forgotten chapters behind the origins of civilization.
