内容説明
Old World civilisation began in the Near East， in the Nile Valley and in Mesopotamia， where two very different cultures prospered. Egypt， isolated as it was within the Nile Valley， largely failed to export its culture. Early Mesopotamia， however， exerted its influence throughout the Near Eastern world. Postgate’s book assesses the influence of this fascinating culture， examining modern scholarship in the light of archaeological discovery. Early Mesopotamia has left us with an abundance of inscribed clay tablets from a wide variety of sources， from government institutions and diplomatic correspondence， to legal proceedings and private correspondence. With the help of illustrations and quotations from these documents， Postgate reveals the organisation of the world’s first urban society. Surprisingly modern at times， this ancient culture was technologically and socially innovative， as well as acutely self-analytical and dominated by bureaucracy and commerce. One of the strengths of this book is the integration of historical and archaeological data which until now has been largely scattered in specialist literature.
Book Description
The roots of our modern world lie in the civilization of Mesopotamia， which saw the development of the first urban society and the invention of writing. The cuneiform texts reveal the technological and social innovations of Sumer and Babylonia as surprisingly modern， and the influence of this fascinating culture was felt throughout the Near East. Early Mesopotamia gives an entirely new account， integrating the archaeology with historical data which until now have been largely scattered in specialist literature.
