ABSTRACT IN each succeeding volume of “The Corridors of Time”, the authors have sought to epitomize the salient characters of a period, as well as mark the cultural advance recorded. In


electing to close the series with “The Law and the Prophets”, they indicate that they see the transition from archaeology to history, not so much as a matter of written record, as the dawn


of abstract thought and the initiation of a concept of godhead, which transcends the tribalized or local deity. This is a logical scheme, but in practice it is apt to leave ragged edges.
