Summary
Children should not just hear about history, they should live it. In The Story of Civilization, the ancient stories that have shaped humanity come alive like never before. Author Phillip Campbell uses his historical expertise and story-telling ability together in tandem to present the content in a fresh and thrilling way.
The Story of Civilization reflects a new emphasis in presenting the history of the world as a thrilling and compelling narrative. Within each chapter, children will encounter short stories that place them directly in the shoes of historical figures, both famous and ordinary, as they live through legendary battles and invasions, philosophical debates, the construction of architectural wonders, the discovery of new inventions and sciences, and the exploration of the world.
Volume I, The Ancient World, begins the journey, covering the time periods from the dawn of history and the early nomads, to the conversion of Emperor Constantine. Children will learn what life was like in the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, Greece, Rome, and more, as well as learn the Old Testament stories of the Israelites and the coming of Christ.
The strength of the content lies not only in the storybook delivery of it, but also in the way it presents history through the faithful prism of the Church. Have you always wanted your children to learn about world history from a Catholic perspective? Here, you'll have the trusted resource you've always wanted.

Western centric and Christian propaganda.
Does not even mention China. Takes the Bible as fact. Regret spending a credit on this.

A Biased Bore with Distracting Background Music
I don't think it is possible to get through this unless you are a Christian. Bible stories are treated as literal truth and re-laid as history, which significantly undermines the credibility of the narrative for anyone looking for an objective historical account. Even worse is the terrible background music that plays behind every chapter. It is mastered just a fraction too loud, making it impossible to ignore and ruining your ability to focus on the narrator. The combination of these issues made it unbearable, and I could not finish it. Save your credit for something more balanced and professionally produced.
