This new edition brings the history up to date with revelations from newly published cuneiform tablets and recent archaeological excavations.” ― Amanda H. Podany, Professor of History, Cal Poly Pomona “An outstanding resource for studying the history of the ANE... It is remarkable to find a volume with this subject matter that is as clear and as engaging as what Van De Mieroop has offered here." ― Kurtis Peters, RBECS Now in its fourth edition, A History of the Ancient Near East remains one of the most accessible introductions to the rich and complex history of the region available. Integrating original sources, up-to-date scholarship, and extensive supplementary materials, this popular textbook provides student-friendly coverage of the origins of the first cities in Mesopotamia, the growth of the Babylonian and Hittite kingdoms, and the rise of the Assyrian and Persian empires.

Review: Loving the general intro to ANE - Nice introductory text. Light to non-existent on citations (at least in the early chapters - haven't checked for seperate bibliography yet) Review: A trusted history with added teaching/learning value. - I hold a doctorate in archaeology/anthropology and am also a longterm student of the ancient near east. As such I own a sizeable library which deals with the region and period. Mieroop's book is not only a detailed up-to-date reading of an extraordinarily long, formative period but separately discusses key issues with alternative arguments throughout. These are offered in a box separated from the main text. Highly recommended for students (at all stages) and teachers. ## Features - Binding: paperback - Language: english - Manufacturer: John wiley & sons inc - Brand: John wiley & sons inc - Publication date: 2025-05-19T00:00:01Z - Manufacturer: John Wiley & Sons Inc - Brand: John Wiley & Sons Inc ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #98,315 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #26 in History of Ancient Mesopotamia #19,782 in Higher & Continuing Education Textbooks | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 18 Reviews | ## Images ![A History of the Ancient Near East ca. 3000 - 323 BC - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91UYrR1xemL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loving the general intro to ANE *by D***R on 5 March 2026* Nice introductory text.
