8th Edition. Approx. 300 photos & illustrations. In the vast literature and history of ancient civilizations, inscriptions on or under the pictures or illustrations are written in a language we do not understand. There are thousands of slabs, cylinder seals, tablets, and obelisks of ancient civilizations, which are hard to decipher. And in many instances, no inscriptions or texts were ever provided to explain what the statues, figurines, slabs and tablets represent. This book was written in order to deal with and to explain all these concerns, and above all to provide the readers with sufficient guidance, translation and explanation of major archeological finds, ranging from a figurine to a massive monument.
