I would recommend that you just find a big-ass physical Encyclopedia and skip around different civilizations, regions, people, writers, etc. and after you finish one just skip to a related article until you find a region that's especially interesting to you.

The classic "best" books people would recommend like Durant's 11-volume work aren't the best to start out in if you don't already consume vast amounts of literature, and a lot of shorter books claiming to cover all of history are trashy and dumb

I'd say start somewhere and put together the pieces as you go along.

The bible is literally a history book from the first two people to the end of the human race.

I bought one, I can't remember what it was called but its good as a starting point for entire eras I don't know much about. Can't rely on it having indepth info and some entire parts of history aren't mentioned in it.
