(David George) The Ancient East Home University Library of Modern Knowledge, No. 92 Produced by Charles Franks, Julie Barkley and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Ancient East" by D. G. Hogarth is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The book primarily examines various civilizations and societal developments in the ancient Near East during significant periods, focusing on the political, cultural, and geographical changes from around 1000 B.C. onward. It assesses how these ancient societies interacted with one another and how their legacies have shaped contemporary understandings of the region. At the start of "The Ancient East," the author provides an overview of what is encompassed under the term "The East," which he clarifies is not to be understood in modern geographical terms but rather as it was perceived in antiquity. The opening section elaborates on the dynamic and fragmented political landscape of Western Asia around 1000 B.C., highlighting the lack of large empires and instead presenting a mosaic of smaller states. It discusses the movements of various tribes and peoples, including the Semitic migrations, and introduces key civilizations such as the Babylonians and Egyptians, noting their historical significance and the challenges they faced from nomadic invaders and rival powers. This nuanced introduction sets the stage for a more detailed exploration of the intricate tapestry of history that defined the ancient Near East. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
