	Hinduism, ancient history
		Unlike the Greeks and the Egyptians, the ancient Indian scholars as well as kings had very little sense of history and therefore they left no true historical accounts of their times.
		But there is another school of thought which believes that they did not come from outside but were the natives of the subcontinent, who might have spread later to other parts of the world, carrying with them the fond memories of their old life styles and culture.
		However it is an undeniable fact that there were many similarities between the ancient people who lived in the land called Persia and the those who lived in the northern parts of the subcontinent.

		Nowhere, perhaps, is the influence of geography upon history as clearly demonstrated as in the group of countries which extend from the Mediterranean Sea to the Iranian plateau and form what we call the Near East.
		This sweep of history comprising some six-plus millennia cannot, of course, be dealt with comprehensively within the bounds of a single volume; nevertheless, Roux has managed to spotlight the extant periods without losing the story's overall continuity, a considerable achievement.
		Georges Roux stated that his goal in writing "Ancient Iraq" was to provide the layman reader with a cohesive introduction to the history of ancient Mesopotamia, incorporating archaeological and historical finds up to 1992.
