About this listen

 Dive into the captivating world of ancient civilizations with History of Egypt, Chaldea, Syria, Babylonia, and Assyria, a monumental twelve-volume work by the pioneering Egyptologist Gaston Maspero. Translated from the original French, this masterwork, published between 1903 and 1904, showcases Masperos dedication to the exploration of ancient cultures. As a largely self-taught scholar, he led significant archaeological missions, including the renowned Institut Franßais d‚Archologie Orientale. Notably, he expanded research at Saqqara, uncovering thousands of hieroglyphic inscriptions that shed light on the evolution of the Egyptian language. Maspero also took bold actions against the illegal antiquities trade, famously apprehending treasure hunters linked to the discovery of royal mummies. This first volume delves into the significance of the Nile, the rich pantheon of Egyptian gods, and the legendary tales that shaped ancient Egyptian history.Copyright History & Horror Collections Art Literary History & Criticism Science Social Sciences World
