All about ancient Assyria and Babylonia, this title comes with 15
step-by-step projects and more than 300 exciting pictures. Step
back in time to explore the Land Between the Two Rivers, one of the
most ancient of all civilizations. You can investigate how the
Assyrians, Babylonians and Sumerians were among the first to
develop writing, mathematics and the science of astronomy. It
features 15 simple and enjoyable projects that allow you to
re-create the past - build a model chariot, make a ram-headed
drinking cup, and design a tunic fit for an Assyrian king. It
includes fact boxes that provide extra information and indicate
links with the present. It is packed with over 300 photographs and
illustrations, including maps, cross sections and a pictorial
timeline. It is ideal for home or school use for 8- to
12-year-olds. This is the perfect introduction to Mesopotamian
history. There are sections on trade and technological advances, as
well as social issues of the time, ranging from family life and
beliefs to formal religion and royalty. Practical projects actively
involve children in understanding and reconstructing the past: make
a musical lyre, create a set of lion weights, and sculpt a clay
tablet of cuneiform script. The book is stimulating, authoritative,
and fun to use - the ideal way to learn how the Assyrian,
Babylonian and Sumerian people lived their lives.
