During the last two hundred years, however, archaeological discoveries in Egypt, Mesopotamia, Crete, Syria, Anatolia, Iran, and the Indus Valley have revealed that rich cultures existed in these regions some two thousand years before the Greco-Roman era. In this fascinating work, H.W.F Saggs presents a wide-ranging survey of the more notable achievements of these societies, showing how much the ancient peoples of the Near and Middle East have influenced the patterns of our daily lives.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Henry William Frederick Saggs</note> <subject> <topic>Civilization</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Greece -- Civilization</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">939.4</classification> <classification authority="ddc">S129-H52</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0300044402</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15566/224.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15566/224.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071509.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
