Babylonians (Peoples of the Past S.) - Tapa blanda
Reseña del editor:
The people of ancient Mesopotamia, who settled in the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers before the fourth millennium BC, laid the foundations of Western civilisation. Some of the earliest experiments in agriculture and irrigation, the invention of writing, the birth of mathematics and the development of urban life all began there. Many of the most fundamental developments in human society first occurred in this area. Biblical associations are also numerous, from Nineveh to the Tower of Babel and the Flood. The author describes the ebb and flow in the successive fortunes of the Sumerians, Akkadians, Amorites and Babylonians. Using evidence from pottery, cuneiform tablets, cylinder seals, early architecture and metallurgy, he illuminates the myths, religion, languages, trade, politics and warfare, as well as the legacy, of the Babylonians and their predecessors.
