The Ancient East is a comprehensive book written by D.G. Hogarth that explores the ancient civilizations of the Middle East, from the earliest known settlements to the fall of the Persian Empire. The book covers the history, culture, and architecture of the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia, and the Levant. It also delves into the religious beliefs, social structures, and political systems of these societies. The book is designed to be accessible to both casual readers and scholars, with detailed illustrations and maps that help to bring the ancient world to life. Whether you are interested in the pyramids of Egypt, the ziggurats of Mesopotamia, or the great empires of Persia, The Ancient East is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of the Middle East.The earliest of these centres of power to develop foreign empire was also that destined, after many vicissitudes, to hold it latest, because it was the best endowed by nature to repair the waste which empire entails. This was the region which would be known later as Babylonia from the name of the city which in historic times dominated it, but, as we now know, was neither an early seat of power nor the parent of its distinctive local civilization. This honour, if due to any one city, should be credited to Ur, whose also was the first and the only truly Babylonian empire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
