This Ancient History of the Near East offers both scholars and interested readers a comprehensive and complex overview of the ancient civilizations of the East, including both Egyptian and Mesopotamian, focusing on their economic and political development, while also emphasizing anthropological, environmental, and cultural aspects. A very specific attention to sources, with the presentation of numerous economic, historical, religious, or literary texts translated directly from the original, restores the voice and words of civilizations essential to the development of what remains our culture today.
