Explore the rise and fall of ancient empires in a vivid, accessible journey through the Eastern world.
The Ancient East, by renowned British archaeologist David George Hogarth, offers a compelling look at the civilizations that shaped the Near East between 1000 BC and 400 BC. First published in 1914, this classic work remains an inviting introduction to a region whose history is both complex and fascinating.
Hogarth guides readers through the turbulent world of Babylonia and its neighbors, bringing to life the Assyrians with their military might, the Asiatic empire of Egypt, the enigmatic Hatti, and the cultural richness of Mesopotamia, Chaldea, and Syria. The book also traces the rise of the Empire of Sargon and culminates with the dramatic "victory of the West" under Alexander the Great, whose conquest forever changed the East.
Praised for its clarity and directness, The Ancient East is free of academic footnotes and jargon, making it ideal for general readers. Despite its concise length, it offers remarkable detail and insight, making ancient history feel immediate and alive.
