(Zenaide Alexeievna) Ragozin, Zénaïde Alexeïevna Chaldea: From the Earliest Times to the Rise of Assyria E-text prepared by Thierry Alberto, Brownfox, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Chaldea: From the Earliest Times to the Rise of Assyria" by Zénaïde A. Ragozin is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the ancient civilization of Chaldea, detailing its culture, traditions, and its eventual decline leading to the rise of the Assyrian Empire. It provides insights into the geographic and historical context of Mesopotamia, specifically focusing on significant events and figures that shaped the region. The opening of the book begins by recounting the destruction of Nineveh, the former capital of the Assyrian Empire, and the subsequent changes in Mesopotamia over centuries. Ragozin describes the decline of influential powers in the region, the transition from Assyria to Persian rule, and the eventual spread of Arabic influence. The narrative highlights the erosion of historical knowledge and cultural memory as ancient cities fell into ruin, paving the way for archaeological explorations and discoveries that sought to uncover the legacy of Chaldea. Through vivid descriptions, Ragozin sets the stage for a journey into an ancient world, revealing not only the historical significance of Chaldea but also the rich tapestry of civilizations that thrived between the rivers.
