''Civilization of the Eastern Iranians in Ancient Times: With an Introduction on the Avesta Religion V1: Ethnography and Social Life'' is a book written by Wilhelm Geiger that explores the history and culture of the Eastern Iranians in ancient times. The book is divided into two parts: the first part provides an introduction to the Avesta religion, which was the ancient religion of the Eastern Iranians, and the second part focuses on the ethnography and social life of these people.The book begins with an overview of the Avesta religion, which is one of the oldest religions in the world. Geiger provides a detailed analysis of the religion’s history, beliefs, and practices, including its rituals, prayers, and sacred texts. He also explores the role of the priesthood in the religion and the way in which the religion influenced the social and political structures of the Eastern Iranian societies.The second part of the book focuses on the ethnography and social life of the Eastern Iranians. Geiger examines the various tribes and clans that made up these societies, their customs and traditions, and their social and political organizations. He also explores the role of women in these societies, as well as their economic activities, such as agriculture, trade, and crafts.Overall, ''Civilization of the Eastern Iranians in Ancient Times: With an Introduction on the Avesta Religion V1: Ethnography and Social Life'' provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the history and culture of the Eastern Iranians in ancient times. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of ancient Iran, the Avesta religion, or the social and cultural practices of ancient societies.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
