Dynasties, city empires, gods, and legends - all of these were first developed in the lush region of Mesopotamia thousands of years ago, but how did one strip of land become home to some of the most impactful empires in history?

Discover a time when mankind was trying to make sense of the world around them but managed to create mighty empires that still maintain an influence on our lives today. Learn about the lives of the rulers, artisans, and warriors who introduced literacy, farming, and sophisticated warfare to the ancient world.

The ancient Mesopotamians also developed a massive pantheon of gods and goddesses who influenced kings and the poor alike. They built incredible temple complexes and ziggurats that contained extensive treasuries and were decorated with breathtaking pieces of art. Their empires changed the course of ancient history, and their capital cities became the centers of the known world.

There was a time when Mesopotamian history was hidden from the world, as its cities languished under tons of desert sand. Modern excavations at these sites have revealed astonishing finds that have given modern historians a glimpse into a forgotten era.

Allow this audiobook to take you on a tour of ancient Mesopotamia, and you will gain insight into the following:

  • How mankind went from nomadic hunters to rulers and warriors
  • The first cities in history and the dynasties that defined them
  • The development of complex cultures through the various Mesopotamian empires, including the Akkadians, Assyrians, and Babylonians
  • How these empires emerged
  • Important excavations and what they prove
  • The rise and fall of arguably the greatest empire in history and what significance it has for us today
  • The religions and myths that governed everyday life
  • A lasting legacy that’s still relevant in our modern world

This narrator occasionally gets pronunciations wrong in many of his books. This is distracting. His sing-song tonality is as well.

Overall good but
