As title says. Not really a specific historical question, but I would appreciate a recommendation. I'm very interested in all the major ancient wonders, not just the seven that Philo wrote down. I've gained a new appreciation for how many years of effort it took to make all of these. Never in my lifetime will I see a feat of such magnitude started, progressed, or completed. The Eiffel Tower is great and all, but it didn't take 120 years to build.
Other general books about the ancient world are also appreciated. No such thing as too many recommendations!
Thanks in advance.
Hi there anyone interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on /r/AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy, or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular podcast/book/novel/documentary/etc, and which aren't backed up by a historian-level knowledge on the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
