Mesopotamia, the land watered by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, was the home of the great hero Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk who did not want to die, and of the Tower of Babel, the biblical monument to the confusion of languages. Despite its historical significance as the cradle of civilization, the Mesopotamian world is largely unknown. It seems accessible only to a select few, the Assyriologists and Oriental archaeologists capable of deciphering cuneiform writing and reading the layers of the ancient adobe hills that dot the ancient geography of Iraq and Syria. With the aim of revealing the contribution of the Mesopotamians to the history of humanity, Juan Luis Montero Fenollós has written this book, which is the result of his long archaeological experience at sites in the Middle East. The result is a book in which the author explains the true historical and cultural significance of ancient Mesopotamia. He does so through a careful selection of seven major thematic areas: water, the city, royalty, justice, writing, religion, and death.
