About this product

Product Information

This book takes the readers on a fascinating pictorial journey into the ancient Assyrian and Babylonian civilizations. This meticulously researched and handsomely illustrated volume explores the chronology, historic events, key public figures, and cultural legacy of the Assyro-Babylonian civilization. Tracing the roots of this ancient society to 3000-2001 BC, historian Alfredo Rizza reveals the impact of various earlier civilizations on the development of Mesopotamia in the second and first millennium BC (ca. 2000-500 BC).Revealing fresh insight into the pivotal historical events and complex political-cultural configuration of the Assyrians and Babylonians, this book delves into the convergence in Mesopotamia of various ethnic-cultural groups including the Amorites, Aramaeans, Chaldaeans and other western Semitic peoples who were semi-nomadic and whose society had an aristocratic structure, the Hurrites and other peoples from the mountain regions in the north, the Hittites and Urartians from Turkey, groups from the east, and others. The authoritative text describes the role played by each group in trade, diplomatic relations, cultural heritage, and military action.The writings of such classical writers as Herodotus and Ctesias, translations of royal inscriptions, and archaeological excavations have revealed, as Alfredo Rizza writes, A very ancient world. ..a world that is still revealing its secrets to us and is also certainly still concealing other treasures and a cultural legacy of inestimable value. Specially commissioned photographs depict the topography, archaeology, and antiquities of this ancient civilization including stone relief's discovered in royal palaces depicting battle scenes and kings with different deities and conducting religious ceremonies, ziggurats, ornate gates guarding the cities, and much more, all of which reveal details of this intriguing epoch.
