Civilizations of ancient Iraq
Civilizations of ancient Iraq
Book - 2009
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. With illustrations of important works of art and architecture in every chapter, the narrative traces the rise 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. One of the birthplaces of civilization, ancient Iraq saw the world's earliest cities and empires, writing and literature, science and mathematics, monumental art, and innumerable other innovations.
