I have the 2024 edition (ISBN:978-625-99864-0-1). The typos start at "Table of Contens [sic]" and continue from there. Probably the worst proofread book I've ever read, with often multiple typos per page.
Sometimes myths are presented as facts. "In the year 250 CE, seven young Christians were forced to flee Ephesus... They hid in a cave, only to fall into sleep. When they awoke, some two hundred years later, Christianity has prevailed. The seven men continued their lives at Ephesus, and were buried in the same cave after they died."
Think of this as more a souvenir than a book. It has excellent color photographs and on a few there are transparent overlays that show reconstructions of ancient buildings over photos of the ruins that remain today.
