Abiel (ABIEL) Editorial responsibility: D.T. Potts, M.C.A. Macdonald Although the Western exploration of the Arabian peninsula is a phenomenon dating back several centuries, the systematic archaeological investigation of the region is relatively recent. Since the 1960s, however, more and more work of an archaeological and epigraphic nature has been concentrated on the countries of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, the U.A.E, and Yemen, and Arabian archaeology has emerged as an important sub-discipline of Near Eastern archaeology.This series is devoted to the publication of primary research in the countries of the Arabian peninsula, and aims to publish studies which extend in time from prehistory to the Islamic era. Archéologie médiévale (ARCHMED) Editorial responsibility: Berliner Turfantexte (BTT) Editorial responsibility: Akademievorhaben Turfanforschung The task of the Turfan research group lies in continuing the edition of the Turkish and Iranian parts of the Berlin Turfan Collection (approx. 12000 fragments). Edition of these texts entails establishing a critical text (sometimes compiled), together with the provision of translation and commentary.

The Cultural Atlas of Mesopotamia and the Ancient Near East (CULTURAL ATLAS OF) The Cultural Atlas of Mesopotamia and the Ancient Near East (CULTURAL ATLAS OF) by Authors: Michael Roaf Released: November, 1990 ISBN: 0816022186 Hardcover Sales Rank: List price: Our price: You save: Book > The Cultural Atlas of Mesopotamia and the Ancient Near East (CULTURAL ATLAS OF) > Customer Reviews: Average Customer Rating: The Cultural Atlas of Mesopotamia and the Ancient Near East (CULTURAL ATLAS OF) > Customer Review #1: Awesome!! This book does an excellent job of describing the culture and civilization that was the ancient near east. The pictures and maps are totally sweet, and provide a lot of the appeal in this book. In addition Roafs text is an enjoybale read, that is accessible even to the non-expert. Im fascinated with ancient history and I really enjoyed this book. So if you are in to the ancient near east or just into ancient civilizations in general give this book a try, its some sweet action you just cant pass up. The Cultural Atlas of Mesopotamia and the Ancient Near East (CULTURAL ATLAS OF) > Customer Review #2: Best cultural atlas of Mesopotamia Although Im a biologist by education, Im something of a history buff and Ive purchased 6 or 7 big atlases of world history and cultural atlases of the world lately (you cant have too many atlases in your life), and this one is the best atlas on Mesopotomia that Ive seen. Its well-written and has lots of interesting information, but its major strength is all the beautiful color photos of art, artifacts, buildings, and other cultural items from the many ancient sites, along with a number of maps. The author does a fine job of discussing the importance of many of the major archeological sites and their history. Youll hear a lot about these in the book, some of which, although Ive read a fair amount of archeology and ancient history, I still wasnt that familiar with, so the author knows his stuff. All in all a beautifully illustrated, well-written, educational, and even reasonably priced book given the overall quality and features.

Archaeology and Ancient Human History "It seems no work of Man's creative hand, By labor wrought as wavering fancy planned; But from the rock as by magic grown, Eternal, silent, beautiful, alone! . . . Match me such marvel, save in Eastern clime A rose-red city, half as old as time." from "Petra," by Dean Bergen The "rose-red city" of Petra in the Arabian desert is just one of thousands of sites all over the world that record human history in all its facets, both humble and glorious. Archaeology is the study of these sites, of prehistoric and early-historic human cultures and societies. Archaeology ranges over the whole of human history, from the first development of writing over five thousand years ago up to today. My archaeology and ancient-history books can be roughly divided according to the region they discuss: Archaeology and ancient history in general Ancient Egypt The civilizations of Mesopotamia and ancient Arabia The Americas Ancient history in general These are general books about archaeology, such as textbooks, "how-to" books, and books that discuss archaeological sites from all over the world.

88. Annenberg/CPB Exhibits: Collapse Explore the fall of civilizations in ancient Maya, mesopotamia, Anasazi, and the medieval African empires of Mali and Songhai. Learn about the archeological concepts of interpreting evidence and dating artifacts. Search for clues to what happened at the Maya center of Copan. http://www.learner.org/exhibits/collapse/

H Why did this great civilization fall? The history of humankind has been marked by patterns of growth and decline. Some declines have been gradual, occurring over centuries. Others have been rapid, occurring over the course of a few years. War, drought, natural disaster, disease, overpopulation, economic disruption: any of these can bring about the collapse of a civilization. Internal causes (such as political struggles or overfarming) can combine with external causes (such as war or natural disaster) to bring about a collapse. What does this mean for modern civilizations? What can we learn from the past? Join us as we explore the collapse of four ancient civilizations. You'll learn what happens when a society collapses and how archaeologists find and interpret evidence. You can visit the Maya city of Copán and search for clues to its collapse. You can also try your hand at "garbage-ology" and study what trash can tell us about a society. Ready to get started?

But the heavens are mute, and can only reflect our own mortal desires and aspirations. Milky Way and Andromeda Programme 1 Ever since our earliest moments on Earth, we’ve sought meaning in the stars. The Mesopotamians - in what is now Iraq - developed a system of predictive astronomy, where Priests scanned the skies for omens that might give clues to the King’s future. The ancient Egyptians believed that when they died, they became stars. So the sky became a region where Egyptian beliefs about royalty, divinity, birth and death all came together. With the help of archaeoastronomers, historians and archaeologists, Rajesh pieces together the astronomical systems operating in the Middle East six thousand years ago. For many of us today, light pollution has created a literal barrier between us and the stars. But that shouldn’t blind us to the extraordinary astronomical achievements of ancient civilisations who had Stars in their Eyes.
