The most famous work by the "father of Russian Egyptology," B. A. Turaev (1868–1920), is the first independent survey of the ancient history of the Near East in Russian. The researcher translated a number of hieroglyphic and cuneiform texts and selected illustrations (reproduced in this book where possible).

The first part of the work is devoted to the region as a whole, its geography and ethnography, as well as the most ancient civilizations: Sumerian, Babylonian, and Hittite. The history of Egypt from the Archaic period to the 20th Dynasty is also examined.

The second part of the work is devoted to the rise of Assyria, the Medo-Chaldean dominance, the Persian era, and the Hellenistic period in the Ancient East. Much attention is paid to the cultural and religious life of the ancient Eastern peoples. A special place in the publication is occupied by detailed indexes of names and toponyms for both parts.

The lively presentation makes the publication accessible not only to specialists but also to the general public.
