This book offers a detailed survey on major archaeological
discoveries in the Near and Middle East. This classic account
focuses on the findings in three great centers of ancient
civilization: Egypt, Sumer, and the Indus valley.
Professor Childe discusses the excavation of the three cities of
Mohenjo-daro and Chanhu-daro on the Indus and Harappa on the Ravi,
and what these sites have revealed about Indian civilization in the
third millennium B.C. He describes the findings at the numerous
tells between Mesopotamia and the Indus basin, and in the three
provinces of the Fertile Crescent; the succession of cultures in
pre-dynastic Egypt and the rise of the Pharaohs; the findings at Ur
and Kish and the development of an urban civilization in
Mesopotamia. Throughout the text, the author sets forth the
step-by-step gathering of precise archaeological evidence, relating
these findings both to the context of their particular culture and
to the larger context of the origins of European history.
