The Conquest of Assyria
Author: Mogens Trolle LarsenPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317949951
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
The Conquest of Assyria tells what must surely be one of the most romantic tales of archaeological endeavour. The great cities and ancient palaces of Mesopotamia had lain buried for over two millenia, and were all but forgotten, half remembered in the Hebrew Bible and Classical texts. This volume records the dramatic finds, the decipherment of the cuneiform system of writing and the rediscovery of a lost civilisation.
