Walk into the dawn of history, where desert kingdoms and river cities first learned to rule. The ancient world feels near. In Egypt and Western Asia in Antiquity, Ferdinand Justi, Morris Jastrow and Sara Stevenson trace the rise, splendour and interwoven fortunes of the Nile kingdoms and the empires of the Near East. As world history volume 1 of A History of All Nations, this early civilization history book combines scholarly ancient history with clear, vivid exposition, giving a coherent ancient world history survey of Egypt and Western Asia from their earliest records through the great imperial ages. It serves both as an ancient history textbook and as an absorbing account for the curious reader, covering the history of ancient Egypt alongside ancient Mesopotamia history and the wider civilizations of western Asia. Guided by editor John Henry Wright, the volume reflects the finest international scholarship of its time, capturing how early historians understood ancient Near East civilizations at the moment when archaeology was transforming the field. Equally suited to a college ancient history course or independent study, it remains a valuable reference for history students, teachers and general readers seeking a solid, narrative foundation in the cultures that shaped later Europe and Asia. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure for serious libraries and classic-book collectors alike.
