What reading level is The Ancient East book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If Phrygia was powerful enough in the ninth century to hold the westAnatolian lands in fee, did it also dominate enough of the easternpeninsula to be ranked the imperial heir of the Cappadocian Hatti? Theanswer to this question (if any at all can be returned on very slightevidence) will depend on the view taken about the possible identity ofthe Phrygian power with that obscure but real power of the Mushki, ofwhich we have already heard. The identity in question is so generallyaccepted nowadays ...that it has become a commonplace of historians tospeak of the "Mushki-Phrygians. " Very possibly they are right. But, byway of caution, it must be remarked that the identification dependsultimately on another, namely, that of Mita, King of the Mushki, againstwhom Ashurbanipal would fight more than a century later, with Midas, last King of Phrygia, who is mentioned by Herodotus and celebrated inGreek myth. To assume this identity is very attractive. Mita of Mushkiand Midas of Phrygia coincide well enough in date; both ruled in AsiaMinor; both were apparently leading powers there; both fought with theGimirrai or Cimmerians.
