In this book Professor Woolley, one of the world's foremost archaeologists, shows quite clearly that when Egyptian civilization began the civilization of the Sumerians had already flourished for at least 2,000 years. The idea that Egypt was the earliest civilization has been entirely exploded. The Sumerians had reached a very high level of culture by 3500 B.C.E., and may be said with some justice to be the forerunners of all the Old World civilizations of Egypt, Assyria, Asia Minor, Crete, and Greece. This book will appeal to everyone interested in the early history of humankind.

<p>This 125-page hardcover was published in 1977 by Greenwood Press (2nd edition). This is an ex-library edition, with typical; library marks, stamps and a corner of end page being cut out. Otherwise, pages are clean and like new. There is no dustcover. The red cloth-hardcover is very nice, with sharp edges, with very minimal wear on bottom edges. The white lettering on the spine is very good. The binding is solid. Overall, a very good conditioned volume.</p>
