English | 148 pages | True PDF | 221 mb

The world as we know it has been shaped by the past. Tools have evolved over thousands of years; species have thrived then died out; civilisations have risen and fallen. Now it's time to uncover what came before us.
In Amazing History, meet the animals that ruled the roost in the prehistoric period, and find your way through the ancient Egyptian underworld. Spend some time at the Tower of London – just try not to get yourself executed – and learn how to make the best sword before discovering how warfare changed in the 20th century with the advent of the Royal Air Force and the advancement of military tanks. But our history isn't limited to Earth; take a trip to space as you learn about the launch of NASA over 60 years ago. With all this and more waiting to be revealed, it's time to turn the page and find out how we got to be where we are today.
