Drawing on archaeological data and historical texts, Nur Masalha dismantles myths and presents a nuanced, scholarly account of Palestine’s multicultural past, making it an essential read for history enthusiasts and professionals seeking a deep understanding of the Levant’s heritage. ## Description This rich and magisterial work traces Palestine's millennia-old heritage, uncovering cultures and societies of astounding depth and complexity that stretch back to the very beginnings of recorded history. Starting with the earliest references in Egyptian and Assyrian texts, Nur Masalha explores how Palestine and its Palestinian identity have evolved over thousands of years, from the Bronze Age to the present day. Drawing on a rich body of sources and the latest archaeological evidence, Masalha shows how Palestine’s multicultural past has been distorted and mythologised by Biblical lore and the Israel–Palestinian conflict. In the process, Masalha reveals that the concept of Palestine, contrary to accepted belief, is not a modern invention or one constructed in opposition to Israel, but rooted firmly in ancient past. Palestine represents the authoritative account of the country's history. Review: A must read if you are interested in the history of the Levant. - More than comprehensive. Very slow reading because virtually every point is attributed to other writers. The best thing about the book is that it is evidence based and factual. It clearly separates what is myth and stories from what is real history. I certainly increased my vocabulary as there are many subject specific words which I hadn't come across before. Although a somewhat difficult read, it is well worth persevering. Moreover it is worth a second or third reading because of the enormous factual content. Review: A COUNTRY ON ITS OWN! - This book makes its point that Palestine has been axregion for four thousand years, and has sometimes been semi- independent in that period. It has its own culture, efuzcation, and history, and is much more than a twentieth century creation. An essential corrective to those who think it is. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 139,436 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 6 in Antiquities 19 in Bible Hermeneutics 108 in History of Civilisation & Culture | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 620 Reviews | ## Images ![Palestine: A Four Thousand Year History - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81UbshDvNgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read if you are interested in the history of the Levant. *by M***D on 1 November 2025* More than comprehensive.
