'In Days of Old, in Ancient Times': Books Set in the Ancient World

I enjoyed Willowdiva2010's list "Willow Reads: Fiction Books Set in BCE" featuring ancient civilizations and mythology., so I thought I'd write a list of my own (note: I included James Michener's "The Source" because despite the fact it covers history through until AD1963, numerous chapters cover history going back almost 10,000 years B.C.).
