"Ancient Mesopotamia" as a book category covers the peoples, places, languages and cultures of the Fertile Crescent region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers from the rise of the first cities (roughly the 4th millennium BCE) through the fall of Babylon to Persia (6th century BCE). It includes scholarly and popular histories, archaeological reports, translations and commentaries on primary texts (cuneiform tablets, myths, royal inscriptions and law codes), studies of religion, art, architecture, economy, law, science and daily life, and historical fiction set in Sumer, Akkad, Assyria and Babylonia. Books in this category range from academic monographs and reference works to accessible narrative histories and children's introductions, and they engage readers interested in origins of writing and urban civilization, ancient literature (e.g., the Epic of Gilgamesh), trade and administration, and the political and cultural legacy of the ancient Near East.
