Summary "The World's Greatest Books — Volume 11 — Ancient and Mediæval History" by Arthur Mee et al. is a historical anthology compiled in the early 20th century. This volume is dedicated to ancient and medieval history, exploring early civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome, and detailing the intricate tapestry of events that shaped these cultures. The work likely covers significant historical narratives and contributions from renowned historians and writers, providing insights into the rise and fall of civilizations. The opening of this comprehensive collection establishes its scholarly foundation, primarily focusing on the contributions of Gaston Maspero to ancient history, including his works "The Dawn of Civilisation," "The Struggle of the Nations," and "The Passing of the Empires." In the beginning, Maspero delves into the geographical and cultural significance of the Nile River and its relation to the development of Egyptian civilization. The text paints a vivid picture of Egypt's landscape and the vital role the Nile played in agriculture, religion, and society. Maspero begins to outline the pantheon of Egyptian gods, their attributes, and their impact on daily life, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of Egypt's legendary and historical narratives as the anthology unfolds.
