The purpose of this book is to give a connected account of what happened in the ancient Middle East, primarily on the basis of the records and monuments that have been recovered through the work of modern archaeology. The Middle East is defined as extending from the western border of Egypt (20 degrees E) to the eastern border of Iran (60 degrees E), and the ancient period in this area is considered to begin with settled human life and to continue to the time of Alexander the Great. In this book, specific references to ancient sources and modern studies are in the notes. They are intended to make it possible for interested readers to pursue further all significant points.

Excellent source for Egyptian and Mesopotamian History,
By A Customer
This review is from: Archaeological History of the Ancient Middle East (Hardcover)
Jack Finegan's book "Archaeological History of the Ancient Middle East" is a wonderful classic. His book is separated into two parts. The first being an examination of Mesopotamia from the beginning of the Mesolithic to the end of the Persian empire. He covers in detail significant historical events within that time period of Mesopotamia. The Second part of his book deals with Egypt from the Mesolithic era to the fall of the Late Dynastic period at the coming of Alexander the Great. The book is beautifully pieced together with hundreds of photographs, tables, and maps from all the periods discussed. I highly recommend Finegan's book for anyone interested in Mesopotamian and Eygptian history. A must for any collection
