Summary "Histoire ancienne de l'Orient jusqu'aux guerres médiques (1/6)" by François Lenormant is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the ancient civilizations of the Near East, shedding light on their histories, cultures, and contributions to the world, especially in the context of the developments leading up to the Medo-Persian wars. Lenormant seeks to reestablish the significance of these empires which were overshadowed by the histories of Greece and Rome. The opening of the book introduces the reader to a renaissance in the study of ancient history, emphasizing the newfound understanding of Near Eastern civilizations that had previously languished in obscurity. Lenormant outlines the transformative advancements in archaeology and historian methodologies, indicating that significant archaeological discoveries, particularly in Egypt and Assyria, have greatly expanded our knowledge of these ancient societies. The preface serves as an exposition of the author's intention to remedy the ignorance surrounding the complexity and richness of ancient Oriental history, setting the stage for a comprehensive exploration of its various peoples and cultures in the chapters that follow.
