It is rare that the whole civilisation of the Ancient Near East should be covered in one book so that the three broad areas of culture can be related and admired. Here, the wonders of the ancient world - the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Tower of Babel, the mysterious Hittites, the treasures of the Pharaohs - are brought together to delight and instruct us.
