Ancient History Book List:
Books on Prehistory, Archeology,
&
the Antediluvian Age
Prehistory refers to the historical time period of which we have the least amount of written records. It is the first era of man's history on this planet. It is grouped with Archeology because the two go hand-in-hand. Books in this category may deal with anything from dinosaurs to modern-day archeological excavations. We are currently working to expand this part of the book list!
The word antediluvian comes from Bible history; consequently, this category is reserved for those who consider biblical records as historical fact. Antediluvian means "before the deluge" and refers to the events before and, for our purposes, during the Flood of Noah found in Genesis.
