Book Description

About The Book

In this work, physical, cultural and religious aspects of ethnology have been treated in their inter relation to one-another. Such a method of treating the subject matter presents a broader view of ancient ethnology and civilization.
In the expression of bold views and excess of diffidence may tend to be much, but supported by facts and authorities and also based on a correct judgment. These principles have been observed in this compilation quite consistently.

Preface

In producing this work, physical, cultural and religious aspects of ethnology have been treated in their inter-relation to one another. In my treatment of these aspects, I have deviated from the earlier precedents of dealing with. only one particular area exhaustively, such as Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, India or Greece. What appears to me as most important is that the ethnological survey of these and other regions should be inter-related, and the migratory movements which created their civilisation should also be treated in relation to ethnology. Such a method of treating the subject-matter, I consider, will present a broader view of ancient ethnology and civilisation.
The non-inclusion of the civilisation of China may appear to be a draw back. But it is inevitable, because any reference to Central Asia or Chinese Turkestan must lead us to a period earlier than 6000 B. C., which is outside the scope of this work. But in addition to the scrappy references I have made to China in this work, I hope to give fuller attention to this topic, if 1 get an opportunity of tracing the pre-Elamitic civilisation of Central Asia prior to 8000 B.G.
No attempt has hitherto been made in outlining facts on the history of navigation before 3188 B. C. The attempt made in this direction, though in many respects possibly incomplete, may, at least, claim the merit of stimulating ideas not only on navigation before 3188 B. C., but also on racial and cultural ethnology, through a pathway leading to the earliest attempts at discovering land routes, and paths of civilisation from ages not far distant from the New Stone Age and furthermore, in the founding of the earliest known primeval kingdoms and cities of the then known world.
Donald A. Mackenzie's noteworthy reference in his preface to his Myths of Babylonia and Assyria. " What is generally called the 'Dawn of History' is really the beginning of a later age of progress," applies to his own volume, which begins from the early Sumerian times. My own, researches, so far as this work is concerned, begin with the still earlier dawn, the Elamitic period, which, too, had its earlier beginnings in Turkestan In Central Asia. From these distant ages, a continuity of cultural links has been traced in relation to racial history.
