Mesopotamia, in modern-day Iraq, was home to the remarkable ancient
civilizations of Sumer, Akkad, Babylonia, and Assyria. From the
rise of the first cities around 3500 BCE, through the mighty
empires of Nineveh and Babylon, to the demise of its native culture
around 100 CE, Mesopotamia produced some of the most powerful and
captivating art of antiquity and led the world in astronomy,
mathematics, and other sciences-a legacy that lives on today.
Mesopotamia: Civilization Begins presents a rich panorama of
ancient Mesopotamia's history, from its earliest prehistoric
cultures to its conquest by Alexander the Great in 331 BCE. This
catalogue records the beauty and variety of the objects on display,
on loan from the Louvre's unparalleled collection of ancient Near
Eastern antiquities: cylinder seals, monumental sculptures,
cuneiform tablets, jewelry, glazed bricks, paintings, figurines,
and more. Essays by international experts explore a range of
topics, from the earliest French excavations to Mesopotamia's
economy, religion, cities, cuneiform writing, rulers, and
history-as well as its enduring presence in the contemporary
imagination.
