Full publisher description
Ancient Near East: The Basics surveys the history of the ancient Middle East from the invention of writing to Alexander the Great's conquest. The book introduces both the physical and intellectual environment of those times, the struggles of state-building and empire construction, and the dissent from those efforts. Topics covered include:
What do we mean when we talk about the Ancient Near East?
The rise and fall of powerful states and monarchs
Daily life both in the cities and out in the fields
The legacy of the Ancient Near East: religion, science and writing systems.
