Assyrian Sculpture by Julian Reade
Originally published in 1983, an illustrated introduction to the Assyrian sculptures and a guide to the collection at the British Museum. Telling of the 19th century rediscovery of Assyria and how the sculptures related to the history of the Assyrian empire.
Finkel, Irving: - Irving Finkel, philologist and Assyriologist, is a spellbinding storyteller and a familiar figure in academic and literary circles. He is the Assistant Keeper of Ancient Mesopotamian script, languages and cultures in the Department of the Middle East in the British Museum, where he reads cuneiform inscriptions on tablets of clay from ancient Mesopotamia. An expert on the history of board games, he is also the author of many children's books as well as the best-selling The Ark Before Noah, which recounts his discovery of a cuneiform tablet that contained a Flood narrative far older than the story of Noah and which led to the recreation of the ark for a 2014 TV documentary.
