History of Egypt, Chaldea, Syria, Babylonia, and Assyria; Volume 11

This sweeping historical survey covers the civilizations of Egypt, Chaldea, Syria, Babylonia, and Assyria from ancient times to the early twentieth century. Written by an unknown author in the early 1900s, it reflects the fascination with exotic lands that characterized much of Western scholarship of the era. While some of its interpretations may seem dated today, it remains a vivid and engaging work of popular history.
