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.
