For folks who wonder how life would have been in those times, or just romanticize transporting to some time in history, I would highly recommend The Source by James A Michener. It covers thousands of years through multiple fictional stories across time but located in a fictitious town in Israel. There's "paganism", fun engineering challenges solved, the crusades, rise of islam, famine, plagues etc. Highly rated book that I love.

Just want to jump in and show some appreciation for Michener’s historical fictions. The Source is great, and Hawaii is one of my all time favorite books.

Had read it, IIRC. He has written a few others too. Don't remember the names. The South Pacific may be one.
