Tova ne e posledovatelna istoria na dinastiite i narodite na Drevnia Iztok. Tuk az iskah samo da zapoznaia vsichki, koito prochetat tazi kniga, s zhivota i kulturata na dvata naj-veliki naroda, predshestvuvali gryckata civilizacia. Za vseki ot tiah az sym izbral epohata, koiato ni e izvestna naj-dobre i ot koiato sa zapazeni naj-mnogo pametnici: Egipet – vyv vremenata na Ramzes ²² (4 v. pr. Hr.) i Asiria – pri upravlenieto na Ashurbanipal (7 v. pr. Hr.). Pri tova az postypih kato onezi dobrosyvestni pyteshestvenici, koito ne se vturvat prezglava da izsledvat novi strani, a predi da trygnat na pyt, se osvedomiavat za obichaite i ezika na tehnite obitateli; vyv vseki sluchaj smiatam, che otpraviajki se dve-tri hiliadi godini nazad v glybinite na Drevnostta, az izpylnih tova uslovie.
Kogato stignah na miasto, ogledah se okolo sebe si i se postarah da vidia i chuia vsichko, pri tova kolkoto mozhe poveche i kolkoto mozhe po-dobre. Az izvyrviah vsichki ulici v grada, nadnichah prez vsiaka losho pritvorena vrata, shliaeh se po tyrgovskite lavki i zapisvah vsichko, koeto mi se udavashe da dochuia ot prikazkite i razgovorite na horata. Kogato izgladnelite kamenodelci vdignaha stachka, az vyrviah zaedno s tiah kym namestnika na Tiva, za da razbera kak shte zavyrshi stachkata. S mnogo shum premina pogrebalno shestvie – az izpratih pokojnika do groba i se postarah da razbera uchastta, ochakvashta go v otvydnia sviat. Praznuvaha svatba i az, izpolzuvajki privetlivostta, s koiato zhitelite na Iztoka otvariat vratite na svoite domove po vreme na tyrzhestvo, prisystvuvah pri cheteneto na brachnia dogovor. Kogato preminavashe faraon ili car na Ninevia, az, zaedno s drugite ziapachi, tichah sled nego v hrama, v dvoreca ili na lov; a kydeto obichaite ili etiketyt ne mi pozvoliavaha da vliaza, az pronikvah tam misleno s pomoshtta na podslushanite razgovori ili prochetenite tekstove.
