Ancient Babylon

Ancient history presented in a family-friendly way by Bertie of Storynory. Amazing tales from ancient Greece, Lydia, Persia, Egypt and beyond are explained and brought to life.

His "Histories" appeared around 435 BC, and tell the tale of the Persian wars between Greece and Persia, but not without fascination, interest and admiration for Greece's most powerful enemy, Persia. Bertie retells the stories and explains the context
