fed42 's review for:
Babylon: Mesopotamia and the Birth of Civilization
by Paul Kriwaczek
This is a fascinating, extremely captivating book that describes, to great detail, the history of ancient Mesopotamia.
Its details are impressive, and you end up feeling really weirded out at how similar Mesopotamian society truly was to our own, how little of what we think of as modernity is actually modern or created by modern cultures, and how we might be facing the end of our society as we know it if Mesopotamia is any indication. A deeply sobering thought!
