What books would /his/ recommend for the following:
>Carthaginian Empire
>Ancient Egypt (from ~4000BC to the end of the Hellenic era)
>The Levant
>The Middle East + North Africa. Historical migrations and ethnic evolutions
>The origins of the Hebrew people and history before/during/after Egyptian enslavement
I'd prefer things leaning a little on entertainment rather than purely dry historical text, but I realise there is a huge amount of ground covered here and am interested in anything relevant.
>>3045789
"Carthage Must Be Destroyed" is the book I'm planning on reading once I finish SPQR. It's supposed to be a history of Carthage.
>>3045812
Thanks mate, I'll take a look. SPQR is already on my to do list, are you enjoying it?
>>3045789
I Fenici tra Vicino oriente e Sardegna by Berbardini and Italia Punica by Moscati
>>3045789
>The origins of the Hebrew people and history before/during/after Egyptian enslavement
For this I'd recommend fiction
Somehow posted this a it's own thread. Oops.
For Carthage
>General Summary
- Carthage: A History (more dry, but super important)
- Carthage Must be Destroyed (more entry, not a bad thing)
>Summary of The Western Phoenicians in general
- Phoenicians and the West
>Punic Wars
- it's hard to recommend anything but Goldworthy for a good introduction
>Hannibal
- Serge Lancel's Hannibal
- There's a good podcast on iTunes U by Stanford University
>General Phoenicians
- The Phoenicians by Donald Harden
- The Phoenicians by Glenn Markoe
There are also some good papers by Carlos Wagner on Carthage and The Phoenicians in Spain. Some of his work is in Spanish, a good amount in English.
>>3045903
Are there English versions of these?
>>3047095
Moscati, Sabatino, ed. 1988. The Phoenicians. New York: Abbeville. Although its title suggests a focus on the Phoenicians, many of the articles in this volume concentrate on their activities and heritage in the central and western Mediterranean. Particularly good on Punic art and architecture.
>>3045789
>carthage

>>3045789
>Ancient Egypt (from ~4000BC to the end of the Hellenic era)
see parts of pic related
>The Levant
too vague desu, but maybe you'll find it in pic related
>>3045789
>Historical migrations and ethnic evolutions

>>The origins of the Hebrew people and history before/during/after Egyptian enslavement

Fresh chart on the Phoenicians
>read Carthage Must be Destroyed

ty. will also use this thread to rollout my new chart on ancient macedonia. i'll also be working charts on the hellenistic age and alexander the great to complete my hellenistic series (made seleucids and ptolemy charts so far).
but next i'll try to work on that french revolution intro chart that anon requested.

>>3047502
>Tfw you'll never get to sacrifice your first born to show your devotion to you gods.
Did that one anon ever finish the chart about the French revolution?
>>3050125
I don't think so, last thread I saw he said it's still a work in progress.
Anyone have a rec for a book on the HRE?
gonna post a second macedonia chart on art and archaeology
>>3050125
>>3050157
yeah still working on it. I've compiled a shit ton of books which i can put in pastebin if you want, but the process of organizing it and making a chart is a very big undertaking considering that its a subject that has a lot of good scholarship (whereas a more obscure subject has a more limited range of scholarship thats easy to narrow down)
>>3050188
any particular period?
>>3051462
>>3048210
>>3047502
>er by historians until archaeologists actually found piles of baby bones in temple ruins
1)Tophets are not temples, they are cemeteries for still borns and small children
2)many of those bones belonged to stillborns, so the cemetery wasn't certainly a specific burial place for sacrificed victims
3)There is no firm evidence for any of those children being sacrificed
4)There isn't any direct reference to human sacrifice in any Punic epigraphic text found
>>3051757
are those the only ones that have been excavated?
>>3051466

ok i'll look for something gimme a sec
Just starting this one. Any American Civil War buffs read this one? Is it worth my time?
Any good books on Attila or the Assyrians ?
If this is the book rec thread, does anyone have some good recs on early American history, later American history, English history, history of the British Isles in general, general European history, general history of other relevant places in the world, American law and government, British law and government, and history of Christian sects?
The more specific ones are what I'm really interested in, though I'd like to know more of more general history, too, since America and England don't exist in a bubble.
Please and thank you.
Great 3 book series covering literally everything from the first known records to the renaissance

Here's a slide from a PowerPoint I found a while ago from a lecture from like Harvard (got it from academia.edu). A lot of the skeletons look to be prenatal, which would fall in line with the other anon's claim. I know there is still a lot of debate though.

why none in spain or in other parts of north africa other than the tunis area? i thought there were more punic settlements than that
>>3045789
The jewish war by Josephus is a book I recommend to read. Though it might not go as far back as you want. It talks by King Herod the great's rise to power and then the causes of the Jewish revolt then about the revolt itself. Btw it's the first revolt(66-70 CE). It was written by an actual commander of the Jewish forces in Galilee, who was captured after a siege then worked for the Romans.
>>3054112
We don't know why, there are none in Phoenicia either
>>3054112
There's an argument it isn't a native Phoenician tradition. I don't know how legitimate it is though.
>>3055298
Bumps
>>3053338
Anyone?
>>3057244
Really broad stuff so probably hard to find books on the whole topic (American law itself is an epic), sorry not my area of expertise, looks like the thread is slow today
>>3057805
I guess I'll just make a thread, later on.
What are some books that'll make me like the Caucasus?
>>3045789
>Ancient Egypt
I recently got Writing from Ancient Egypt by Toby Wilkinson. It's a collection of hieroglypic text that he translated and gives you a more humanistic view of ancient egypt, i highly recommend it
>>3052362
gonna post a chart soon on saudi arabia
This might be a bit of a stretch for this thread, but can anyone recommend a good book, preferably science fiction or an alternate history, that involves a mutualist society? It seems like an interesting ideology and I'd like to read about an "applied" mutualist society.
I want to read a book that goes over society and culture in America during the Cold War, any good examples?
>>3045789

rough draft chart on saudi arabia
Is there book that explains christian concepts? I would really prefer it in non-propaganda way.
>>3061870
I too would be interested in this. Also aside from the "propaganda" as you put it, the bible has been through so many Chinese-whisper translations and iterations I don't have a clue which version is best to read.
>>3060943
Awesome, I didn't even know there was one.
Anybody know the best way to get books into PDF form? Like programs, etc.
I have a collection of rather old archeology books that definitely have no PDF equivalent. I want to to scanning. Also just so I can store my library on some cloud service for family and anonymous shitposting.
>>3063809
public libraries usually have scanners but it would take time to scan all those pages
>>3064669
I don't mind that, I'm in no rush. I figure a book every few weeks is fine. I just want to get my collection up for insurance and so I can have it accessible to others. It's not an amazing collection, but I've been getting rare stuff at used book stores for years.
I was also looking into using a camera. Does a scanner work well with books?
>>3061839
new chart on the berbers
Is there a good "general european history as a starting point" book? Or is that such a huge subject that you'd have to look at separate cultures one by one?
/his/ recommendations on the Vietnam War?
Is there some directory with all these charts or are they just circulating randomly? Does one for India/East India Company exist?
>>3067077
They are all made by one guy to my knowledge. I'm collecting all the ones I find and putting them in my good docs, but not sure what % I have of them
>>3053372
came here to post this, It's everything you want OP rolled up into one book. It gets pretty dry when it discusses empires in the far east, but it covers everything
>>3067077
no i haven't made a chart for that yet
>>3068611
Who the fuck are you and how do you assemble these things?
>>3069031
>Who the fuck are you
/his/ browser mostly
>how do you assemble these things?
I use my pastebin collection annotated bibliographies and I search keywords for charts i want to make. i then assemble all the relevant books and sort them into categories and leave out any that are too specialist or only tangentially related. it takes a while to make them but i like doing it because the pastebins are messy and not always divided into subjects or categories that are immediately appealing to people here. It also gives the board easily accessible lists to post in threads when people need recommendations. overall i want /his/ to thrive as a board and this is my way of trying to help

Inside the Third Reich by Albert Speer is my favorite read about WW2 ever, because he has countless personal stories of Hitler, Germany, just inside Germany in general as the war goes on. Reading that book is as close to living those years as a person can possibly get, I could even write a book on Hitler's entire personality after reading it because of Speer
