TTC - Between the Rivers: The History of Ancient Mesopotamia
What
pieces of a distant past drift before our mind's eye when ancient
Mesopotamia is mentioned?
Do we see the temples known as ziggurats, thrust toward the sky by
stepped platforms that would bring worshippers closer to the gods they
honored? Entire populations paralyzed by fear before a dreaded invader,
their dreams haunted by images of their own severed heads held aloft?
Priests making sacrifices to the gods who ruled over and protected
their city? Or the fabled Hanging Gardens of Babylon, their terraces as
shadowed by mystery as they are set alight by color?
Any of these, of course, may come to mind. Perhaps all of them. And
with the exception of Babylon's fabled gardens, whose existence has
never actually been confirmed, they are all true—each
a part of the legacy of a region from which our own culture has drawn
so many essential aspects, including writing, the first code of law,
the idea of cities, and even the first epic poem. All cultures lie in
the shadow of Mesopotamia.
