Sinossi
The Conquest of Assyria tells what must surely be one of the most romantic tales of archaeological endeavour. The great cities and ancient palaces of Mesopotamia had lain buried for over two millenia, and were all but forgotten, half remembered in the Hebrew Bible and Classical texts. This volume records the dramatic finds, the decipherment of the cuneiform system of writing and the rediscovery of a lost civilisation.

Hardcover with dustjacket. Condizione: Gut. XIV, 390 p.: Ill. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag leicht berieben, leichte Randläsuren mit minimalen Einrissen, Kopfschnitt leicht angeschmutzt, Bleistiftnotiz auf Schmutztitel, sonst sehr gut und innen sauber / dust jacket lightly rubbed, light edgewear with minimal tears, head edge slightly soiled, pencil note on half title, otherwise very good and clean inside. - The Conquest of Amyria vividly recounts the adventures of a group of rather unconventional people who excavated the great cities and palaces of the Ancient Near East. Charting the early discoveries, this archaeological adventure is told in a series of close portraits of those involved. From the dramatic discoveries of colossal palaces through to the triumphant decipherment of cuneiform, the opium-smoking Botta and the restless romantic Layard were the principal characters. However, this volume also takes a look at the learned soldier Colonèl Rawlinson, the would-be Englishman and Christian Arab Hormuzd Rassam, and the Irish country parson, Edward Hincks. The lives and achievements of these people offer an unparalleled view of the intellectual and scientific establishment of the High Victorian period and the way in which the new discoveries were received. Based on substantial amounts of new research including the Layard papers and private correspondence, this volume evokes the spirit of the age in an extremely lively and highly readable way. / CONTENTS List of figures List of plates Preface and Acknowledgements PART I: THE FIRST EXPLORERS 1 The mounds of Nineveh 2 Paolo Emilio Botta 3 The first palace appears 4 Austen Henry Layard 5 The journey into the East 6 Mesopotamia - the first impression 7 Indiana Jones among the Bakhtiyaris 8 Mosul and Constantinople 9 Nimrud 10 The ideal English soldier 11 The return of Nimrod 12 But is it art? 13 Cholera and small-mindedness 14 Monuments and inscriptions 15 Packing bulls and other luggage 16 Triumph and revolution.
