Who shaped the world before Egypt, Assyria and Greece took the stage? John D. Baldwin's Pre-Historic Nations opens a remarkable window onto the shadowy epochs before recorded history, when forgotten empires flourished between Ethiopia and Arabia and across the ancient Near East. The past feels suddenly near. Combining ancient civilisations history with a bold archaeology and ethnology study, Baldwin traces the possible Cushite and Ethiopian origins of many prehistoric civilisations of antiquity, examining languages, traditions and early monuments to reconstruct the lost nations of the East. Written for thoughtful general readers yet grounded in classic historical scholarship, it speaks powerfully to students of ancient history, readers of Herodotus, and anyone seeking a classic ancient history reference on Ethiopia and Arabia in antiquity and their relation to neighbouring civilisations. First published in the nineteenth century, Pre-Historic Nations holds an important place in the early modern effort to understand ancient Near East civilisations and the deep cultural networks that linked Africa 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, ideal both for serious study and for any antiquarian history collection devoted to the great questions of human origins.
