Description
From the back cover:
Inventors of writing and originators of the remarkable architecture called ziggurat, ancient Sumeria is the cradle of civilization as we know it today. In this beautifully illustrated volume, Professor M.E.L. Mallowan, who has worked for many years on archaeological sites in the Middle East, tells the story of the vast human achievement in Mesopotamia and Iran. His richly detailed study is drawn from material not readily available and from the extensive published literature on the subject, giving the reader a new literature on the subject, giving the reader a new literature on the subject, giving the reader a new appreciation of a most remarkable people.
