Diodorus Books

Diodorus Siculus was a Greek historian renowned for his monumental universal history, the "Historical Library." Acknowledging his work as a compilation, he meticulously gathered information from numerous sources. His narrative offers valuable geographical insights into the cultures of Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, Scythia, Arabia, North Africa, Greece, and Europe. Notably, his vivid account of gold mining in Nubia provides one of the earliest existing texts on the subject, detailing the harsh realities of slave labor under terrible conditions.
