Description

In Civilizations of Ancient Iraq, Benjamin and Karen Foster tell the fascinating story of ancient Mesopotamia from the earliest settlements ten thousand years ago to the Arab conquest in the seventh century. Accessible and concise, that is the most up-to-date and authoritative book at the subject. With illustrations of important artworks and architecture in each and every chapter, the narrative traces the upward push and fall of successive civilizations and peoples in Iraq over the course of millennia–from the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians to the Persians, Seleucids, Parthians, and Sassanians.

Ancient Iraq was once home to remarkable achievements. One of the crucial birthplaces of civilization, it saw the world’s earliest cities and empires, writing and literature, science and mathematics, monumental art, and innumerable other innovations. Civilizations of Ancient Iraq gives special attention to these milestones, in addition to to political, social, and economic history. And because archaeology is the source of almost the whole lot we know about ancient Iraq, the book includes an epilogue at the discovery and fate of its antiquities. Compelling and timely, Civilizations of Ancient Iraq is an very important guide to understanding Mesopotamia’s central role in the development of human culture.
