SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This thesis seek to provide a study of the evolutionary process of ancient civilizations stressing the complementarily between theoretical principles with the relevant historical evidence. For this reason, the study will focus on the origin, development and collapse of the first stage of the 'Central Civilization', which was the result of the merger of two primeval civilizations, such as Mesopotamia and Egypt, during the 'Near Eastern phase' of this Central Civilisation. This merger seems to have been the result of the political expansion of an imperial entity coming from Mesopotamia under the aegis of the so-called Neo-Assyrian Empire from 1000 BC to 600 BC - better known as the \(Pax\) \(Assyriaca\) - although the process of full integration with Egypt seems to have been concluded by the successor empires of Assyria circa 430 BC.
