About This Book

A multi-volume historical survey examines the political, cultural, and material development of the major ancient Asian monarchies from the earliest city-states through later imperial dynasties. Each regional section treats geography and climate, population and language, arts and sciences, social customs, religion, and chronological history, combining narrative history with archaeological evidence and reproduced plates, plans, inscriptions, and artifact descriptions. The work synthesizes literary sources and excavation reports to reconstruct institutions, material culture, and dynastic succession, and organizes content into extensive chaptered volumes with illustrative plates, cataloged chapters, and indexes to guide readers through comparative ancient Near Eastern civilizations.
