Mesopotamia by Lorna Oakes
Explore the land between the Two Rivers - one of the most ancient of all civilizations - and investigate why the Sumerians, Assyrians and Babylonians were among the first to develop writing, mathematics and the science of astronomy. Practical projects include designing a tunic fit for an Assyrian king and learning to play a musical lyre.
