Don't buy this book!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: History and Culture of Ancient Western Asia and Egypt (Paperback)
This was a textbook in my first ancient near eastern history class in college. All the other textbooks were fine, but this one seems to have been written for an elementary school audience. It's overly simplistic in every conceivable way a history book could be, and furthermore is almost condescending to the reader, with its dumbed-down vocabulary and basic terms in bold print. If you're looking for a good introductory text on this subject, try some of the cambridge ancient history volumes, or The Egyptians by Cyril Aldred and Ancient Iraq by Georges Roux. I wasted my hard-earned money and some valuable time, but now YOU don't have to.
