Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Mesopotamian Origins: The Basic Population of the Near East' is a foundational scholarly investigation into the ethnic and cultural composition of the ancient Near East. Written by the renowned archaeologist and linguist Ephraim A. Speiser, this work delves into the complex history of the diverse groups that settled the Tigris-Euphrates valley before the rise of the Semitic and Sumerian powers.

It addresses key questions regarding the origins of various ethnic groups and their contributions to the legal, social, and religious frameworks of the ancient world. 'Mesopotamian Origins: The Basic Population of the Near East' remains an essential resource for students and scholars of Assyriology, ancient history, and Near Eastern archaeology, offering deep insights into the prehistoric foundations of one of humanity's most influential cradles of culture.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
