Ancient Cities: The Archaeology of Urban Life in the Ancient Near East and Egypt, Greece and Rome

Ancient Cities surveys the cities of the Ancient Near East, Egypt, and the Greek and Roman worlds from the perspectives of archaeology and architectural history, bringing to life the physical world of ancient city dwellers by concentrating on evidence recovered from archaeological excavations. Urban form is the focus: the physical appearance and overall plans of the cities, their architecture and natural topography, and the cultural and historical contexts in which they flourished. Attention is also paid to non-urban features such as religious sanctuaries and burial grounds, places and institutions that were a familiar part of the city dweller’s experience. Objects or artifacts that represented the essential furnishings of everyday life are discussed, such as pottery, sculpture, wall paintings, mosaics and coins. Ancient Cities is unusual in presenting this wide range of Old World cultures in such comprehensive detail, giving equal weight to the Preclassical and Classical periods, and in showing the links between these ancient cultures.

User-friendly features include:

• use of clear and accessible language, assuming no previous background knowledge
• lavishly illustrated with over 300 line drawings, maps, and photos
• historical summaries, further reading arranged by topic, plus a consolidated bibliography and comprehensive index
• new to the second edition: a companion website with an interactive timeline, chapter summaries, study questions, and illustrations; a timeline allowing easy comparison of urban habitation; and a glossary of archaeological and historical terms.

In this second edition, Charles Gates has comprehensively revised and updated his original text, and Neslihan Yılmaz has reworked her acclaimed illustrations. Readers and lecturers will be delighted to see a new chapter on Phoenician cities in the first millennium BC, and new sections on Göbekli Tepe, the sensational Neolithic sanctuary; Sinope, a Greek city on the Black Sea coast; and cities of the western Roman Empire. With its comprehensive presentation of ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern cities, its rich collection of illustrations, and its new companion website, Ancient Cities will remain an essential textbook for university and high school students across a wide range of archaeology, ancient history, and ancient Near Eastern, Biblical, and classical studies courses.

Question by artachoke: Can you state some details about the difference between the Buddhism religon and the Ancient Egyptian religon?
I need to find the differences between the Ancient Egyptian religion and the the Buddhism religion for a project in SS in middle school.

Can you help?

Best answer:

Answer by hundoviro
Buddhism is non-theistic (doesn’t have a god).
Ancient Egyptian religion was polytheistic (had lots of gods).

And LOADS of other differences, but that will do for starters. What sort of an answer does a teacher expect to a question like this? It’s like asking

“What are the differences between motorcycles and steam locomotives?”

Question by Miss Melody: What impact did anatolia have on ancient Egypt?
My homework wants me to put a date for anatolia(when it began as a town) and a short paragraph on it. What impact or significant changes did it make to ancient Egypt? What made it important? Also, what did the germanic tribes do to impact ancient Egypt? What puts these two things in history books about that empire of Rome?

Best answer:

Answer by Uncle2fire
Anatolia is not a town. It is the land now known as Turkey. It had no significant effect on Ancient Egypt, as it did not rise to power until long after the fall of Egypt. It is doubtful that the Egyptians knew of the germanic tribes or vice versa. The final question does not make any sense: do you mean what did they have to do with Rome?

The Ancient Egyptian World (The World in Ancient Times)

Taking readers back 4,000 years, to the fertile land around the Nile River, The Ancient Egyptian World tells the stories of the kings, queens, pharaohs, gods, tomb builders, and ordinary citizens who lived there. Using papyri, scarabs, tomb inscriptions, mummies, and a rich variety of other primary sources, Eric H. Cline and Jill Rubalcaba uncover the fascinating history of ancient Egypt. Scarabs, which scholars call “imperial news bulletins,” record important moments in a pharaoh’s reign. The Edwin Smith Papyrus details the injuries sustained by the builders of the great pyramids, and the remedies used to treat them. For a worker who has had a stone fall on his head, it suggests: “bind it with fresh meat . . . and treat afterward with grease, honey and lint.” A complex recipe for a top-of-the-line mummy describes a process that could take 70 days and involved drawing the brain out through the nose with a crooked piece of iron. These primary sources also tell the stories of the people of ancient Egypt: Pepi II, the six-year-old boy king who commanded armies; Ramesses II, whose mortuary temple boasts of his expertise in battle against the Hittites; Queen Hatshepsut, the only woman to rule Egypt as pharaoh; and Cleopatra, who courted Roman statesman Mark Antony as part of her quest to extend the Egyptian empire. The Ancient Egyptian World honors the history of a civilization whose monuments and tombs still capture the imagination of the world thousands of years later.
