A gorgeous Collector's Edition. Exploring the ancient origins of Sumer we find the beginnings of civilization as we know it now, with language, cities, religious conviction, organised society and a wealth of culture revealed in clay tablets collected in ancient libraries. Between the rivers of the Tigris and the Euphrates rose a powerful force just before the Ancient Egyptians and Chinese, later to be succeeded by Babylon, a powerful city state in 1800 BCE, a centre of spiritual, economic and military power that emerged just before the mighty Indus and Mycenean civilizations.

Each book features a new introduction and a Glossary of Terms.
