Description

The Corridors of Time IV - Priests & Kings deals primarily with a thousand years from 3300 -2500 B.C. From the preface, " When cultivation leads to permanent settlement and this, again to intercourse and trade, villages may grow into cities and written records may be kept; kings and priests then become prominence features of civilization. The present volume sketches this phase of evolution, and the authors have ventured to use the reckoning of the earliest records, with a few adjustments that have been explained. The rise of kings and priests in the old riverine lands is followed by great spreads into Europe and Asia of peasants and traders; the descriptions of these movements make use of published work."
