The ancient civilizations of Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, plus the Hebrews, Hittites, Persians and the Phoenicians are examined in this well-researched and illustrated history.

A comprehensive overview of each country is given; the greatest accomplishments, the societal structure and the religious and cultural life. Firstly there is Egypt's hieroglyphic system of writing, its colossal architectural builds such as the Pyramids of Giza, and its elaborate religious beliefs in the afterlife and honoring the dead. Following this is an examination of ancient Assyria and Babylon; the code of laws implemented by Hammurabi, and the use of cuneiform to write and maintain records. Triumphs of construction, notably the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, are also mentioned alongside the advancements of civic education and early astronomy.
