Maspero was a French Egyptologist, perhaps the leading Egyptologist of his generation, who served as Director General of Excavations and Antiquites for the Egyptian government. This is a monumental work, covering the early history of Egypt, Syria and Assyria from the first Chaldaen Empire and the Herids in Egypt to the rise of Syrian Empire and the Hebrews and Philistines in Damascus and the 21st Egyptian Dynasty.
