THE ANCIENT SUMERIAN
& MESOPOTAMIA
COLLECTION
~~~~~~~~
A truly wonderful collection of over 270 rare, out-of-print and
hard-to-find books compiled together for the first time on 2 unique DVD data
discs covering all aspects of the cradle of civilisation between the Tigris and
Euphrates rivers – Ancient Mesopotamia.
Discover the history, beliefs, customs, traditions, religions
and languages of the most ancient civilisations that occupied this fascinating
land – the Babylonians, Sumerians and the Assyrians. Archaeologists began to
excavate in this region in the mid 19th century – their discovery of
the ancient biblical cities of Babylon (Babel), Nimrud
and Ninneveh are the stuff of legend. Ever since, further discoveries have
continued to captivate the imagination of people around the world.
This stunning archive is by far the most comprehensive we have
seen available anywhere on ebay, and is an absolute must for anyone with an
interest in ancient civilisations, the origins and history of mankind and the
earliest known writings – namely the tablets of cuneiform telling tales of
creation, the epic of Gilgamesh and other fascinating legends.….
Some of the books contained within this collection are extremely
rare and will provide a valuable library of reference material for anyone
studying the history of ancient Mesopotamia.
The full list of titles speaks for itself!
