Paulo Matthiae, a young graduate in Near Eastern studies, was convinced from his research that it was in northern Syria, and the chance discovery of a bronze~age urn in a field near Aleppo confirmed his belief. In 1964 he brought together a team of archaeologists and technicians to test his theories, and finally in 1968 they came upon an inscription confirming that this was indeed Ebla. Further excavations revealed that it was a city of considerable size and affluence, but the character of its society and its place in history were all subjects of speculation until the discovery in 1974 of the royal archive, a library of some twenty~thousand tablets written in cuneiform. It was evidently a new language and when Professor Pettinato, a philologist attached to the expedition, revealed its secrets, he found that it also represented a lost civilization. In this fascinating book, Chaim Bermant and Michael Weitzman describe Matthiae's initial discovery, show how Pettinato managed to decipher the new language, compare the Ebla excavations to others in the area, and assess its significance both to the history of the ancient Near East and to our understanding of the Bible. With sixteen pages of photographs.
