What reading level is Ancient Empires of the East volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Under his administration the fertility of Egypt supplied the dearth of Arabia, and a string of camels, laden with corn and provisions, covered almost without an interval the long road from Memphis to Medina. But the genius of Amru soon renewed the maritime communication which had been attempted or achieved by the Pharaohs, the Ptolemies, or the Caesars; and a canal, at least eighty miles in length, was opened from the Nile to the Red Sea. This inland navigation, which would have joined the Medi...ter- ranean and the Indian Ocean, was soon discontinued as useless and dangerous: the throne was removed from Medina to Damas- cus, and the Grecian fleets might have explored a passage to the holy cities of Arabia.
Of his new conquest the Caliph Omar had an imperfect knowl- edge from the voice of fame and the legends of the Koran. He requested that his lieutenant would place before his eyes the realm of Pharaoh and the Amalekites ; and the answer of Amru ex- hibits a lively and not unfaithful picture of that singular country.
