The Tale of Sinuhe

There's lots about the crusades. I read some as a child, but they were hardly literature.
Should exist though.

The crusades aren't ancient

When we say "ancient" we mean anything up to roughly 500 A.D.

not a good map senpai

I mean historical fiction that's recently written; like I, Claudius.

What's wrong with it? Just picked it at random.

Be a patrician and read The Master and Margerita

seconding pic related also.

No, ancient Near East ends around 539 BC.

That's why I said "roughly" and not "exactly" :)

BC not AD

1k years is a reasonable margin of error

Are you including Egypt in near East or are you only interested in Asia Minor?
If Egypt is included there's Ancient Evenings by Mailer.

Yes, I'm most interested in Mesopotamia, Egypt and Anatolia. Thanks.

Didn't realize that. Not a native speaker and the translation fits in my tongue.

OP, people here don't read. Just google it and pick 1-5 books that sound good.

Mika Waltari - The Egyptian (or Sinuhe Egyptian, depending on the translation)
