The Cambridge Ancient History: Part 1 by I. E. S. Edwards (PDF)

Description

Volumes I and II of The Cambridge Ancient History have had to be entirely rewritten as a result of the very considerable additions to knowledge which have accrued in the past forty-five years. For the same reason it has also been necessary to increase the size of the volumes and to divide each of them into two separately published parts. The individual chapters have already appeared as fascicles, but without maps, indexes and chronological tables which, for practical reasons, have been reserved for these volumes. Some additions and corrections have also been made in order to bring the text, as far as possible, up to date. Together the new volumes provide a history of Egypt and the Ancient Orient (including Greece and the Aegean region) down to 1000 BC in a form suitable for both specialist and student. Volume II, Part I, deals with the history of the region from about 1800 to 1380 BC. This was the era of Hammurabi in Western Asia, the Hyksos and warrior-kings of the Eighteenth Dynasty in Egypt, and the Minoan and early Mycenaean civilizations in Crete and mainland Greece.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The book contains conventional history for Egypt from the end of the Middle Kingdom to the dawn of the New Kingdom (Hatshepsut). The sources even allow for some descriptions of economic and social life and governmental organization. Mesopotamia is covered from Shamshi Adad 1 to Hammurabi, but there is not much source material on which to base conventional history. Most of the rest is archaeological and mythical: lots of urns and city walls, and memories of the Mycenaean age. A little bit (14 pages) on the Hittites from early times to the end of their Middle Kingdom. The book is dated (1973), but still represents a useful “tour d’horizon” of the period, because more modern publications are usually narrowly focused, and archaeologists take longer and longer (years and years) to publish the results of their excavations.
