Painting a colorful picture of everyday lives, this remarkable book is an engaging account of the rise and fall of one of the greatest ancient civilizations--Mesopotamia--in an area corresponding to present-day Iraq. 16-page insert. Map.
Summary
More than seven thousand years ago, the first urban civilization began in Mesopotamia, in an area corresponding to present-day Iraq. This remarkable book is the first to reveal everyday life as it was in ten long-lost Mesopotamian cities. Using archaeological fragments of jewelry, textiles, and writings, anthropologist Gwendolyn Leick paints a colorful picture of the lives of Mesopotamians—from poets and priests to businesswomen and divorcées—and the incredible achievements of their advanced and imaginative society.
