What reading level is The Ancient East book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The century closed with the reassertion ofAssyrian power in Babylon itself by Adadnirari.
SECTION 5. SYRIAN EXPANSION OF ASSYRIA Such were the dangers which, as we now know, lurked on the horizon ofthe Northern Semites in 800 B. C. But they had not yet become patent tothe world, in whose eyes Assyria seemed still an irresistible powerpushing ever farther and farther afield. The west offered the mostattractive field for her expansion. There lay the fragments of the HattiEmpire, enjoying the frui...ts of Hatti civilization; there were thewealthy Aramaean states, and still richer Phoenician ports. There urbanlife was well developed, each city standing for itself, sufficient inits territory, and living more or less on the caravan trade whichperforce passed under or near its walls between Egypt on the one handand Mesopotamia and Asia Minor on the other. Never was a fairer fieldfor hostile enterprise, or one more easily harried without fear ofreprisal, and well knowing this, Assyria set herself fromAshurnatsirpal's time forward systematically to bully and fleece Syria.
