Summary "The History of Antiquity, Vol. 3 (of 6)" by Max Duncker is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume focuses on the ancient Near East, particularly the powerful empires of Assyria, Babylon, and Egypt, exploring their interactions with Israel and the surrounding regions. It delves into significant events such as military campaigns, the rise and fall of kings, and the cultural developments of these ancient civilizations. The opening of this volume presents a detailed analysis of the campaigns of Tiglath Pilesar II in Assyria during the 9th century B.C., outlining his military conquests that expanded Assyrian influence over a vast territory, including regions in Media and Babylon. It highlights the political dynamics of the time, such as the tribute paid by conquered cities and the conflicts with other nations like Israel and Damascus. This section sets the stage for understanding the power struggles and the complexities of governance in the ancient world, establishing a foundation for further exploration of historical and religious themes in subsequent chapters.
