Originally published between 1920-70,The History of Civilization was a landmark in early twentieth century publishing. It was published at a formative time within the social sciences, and during a period of decisive historical discovery. The aim of the general editor, C.K. Ogden, was to summarize the most up to date findings and theories of historians, anthropologists, archaeologists and sociologists.

An absorbing and enlightening adventure through time… This book tells the story of the ancient world from the Fourth Millennium to the Sixth Century BC. All the major civilizations are covered, from the Near East, Egypt and Mediterranean to the great river valleys of India and China and the coastlines of Mexico and Peru. The histories of these cultures have been woven into a compelling and compact narrative, illuminating this formative period and providing a context for the better-known classical era that followed. The Dawn of Civilization tells the story of the earliest kings and queens to grace the historical record, the rise and fall of the first empires, glorious battles, incredible innovations and colourful myths and legends from the works of Homer and the ancient religions. Discover the harsh and uncompromising world of vain Egyptian pharaohs, brutal Assyrian warlords and bloodthirsty barbarian hordes. Marvel at the awe-inspiring age of mystical Cretan priestesses, heroic warriors and earthly wonders such as the Egyptian pyramids and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Anyone who has not specialised in ancient history could be forgiven for thinking that nothing meaningful happened before the Fifth Century BC, when the western classical age is generally considered to have begun. However the civilized world existed and flourished for an incredible 3,500 years before the classical Greeks first came to prominence. Author Sean Ellerker provides a fresh perspective on antiquity by focusing solely on the ancient world before the rise of Greece and Rome, organising this remarkable period of history into a single volume. The Dawn of Civilization makes this fascinating and multifaceted era accessible to everyone. It is an ideal read for anyone interested in history, archaeology and the classics, including students of these subjects at school or university.

Excerpt from The Dawn of Mediterranean Civilisation The favourable reception by the public of my first essays on the excavations in Crete has encouraged me to write a second volume treating more fully of the evidences of ancient Cretan civilisation as now known to us. The material which I collected in Crete, and especially the results of my excavations at Phæstos, could not all be included in my former volume, and I have during the last three years excavated much in Sicily and Southern Italy, and intend to continue this work next year in Upper Italy. The monuments which have already come to light are of such importance that I propose to write a third volume on the Italians from the stone age to the first Hellenic colonies. In order to avoid the dryness of a purely technical work, and to make this volume more interesting to the general reader, I have kept the chapters in the form of essays, in which are related the things seen and lived through; and I hope that sufficient local colour is retained to enable the reader to follow the traces of the expeditions made and to participate in the feelings of one who leaves the old road of written history and makes his way through the ruins of the monuments up the stream of real history, unmodified by legend and illuminated only by the new light shining from the excavations.
