Thisatlas takes us on an exploration of the world, to encounter someof the brilliant and more obscure civilizations that have shapedhistory. Like stars, civilizations and peoples are born; they live and they die. Sumerians, Spartans, Etruscans, Moche, Aksumites, Mayans, and Mongoliannomads have one thing in common: over the course of several centuries ora few decades, they lived a remarkable way of life, developed elaborateskills, and shone through their artistic achievements, their culture,their medical expertise, or their knowledge of the stars. From theAztecs with their fatal calendar, to the Rapa Nui with their strange Moaiscanning the horizon, or, more recently, the Tasmanians and Herero withtheir tragic destiny, and the Ona and Alakaluf of Tierra del Fuego, thisatlas takes us on a poetic exploration of the world, to encounter someof the brilliant and more obscure civilizations that have shapedhistory.
