At the start of the book, the author sets the stage for understanding Chaldaea by examining its geographical significance. The narrative describes the land's features, such as its arid deserts and fertile plains primarily sustained by the rivers, which have made the region viable for agriculture and settlement throughout history. Rawlinson further discusses the climate, flora, and fauna of the area, emphasizing its agricultural productivity, which was famed in antiquity for its ability to yield substantial grain harvests. This opening portion establishes a foundation for a deeper exploration of the people who inhabited Chaldaea and their contributions to human history, setting the reader up for a detailed journey through the ancient world.
