The Conquest of Assyria tells what must surely be one of the most romantic tales of archaeological endeavour. The great cities and ancient palaces of Mesopotamia had lain buried for over two millenia, and were all but forgotten, half remembered in the Hebrew Bible and Classical texts. This volume records the dramatic finds, the decipherment of the cuneiform system of writing and the rediscovery of a lost civilisation.

The ancient Anatolian city of Kanesh (present-day Kültepe, Turkey) was a continuously inhabited site from the early Bronze Age through Roman times. The city flourished c.2000-1750 BCE as an Old Assyrian trade outpost and the earliest attested commercial society in world history. More than 23,000 elaborate clay tablets from private merchant houses provide a detailed description of a system of long-distance trade that reached from central Asia to the Black Sea region and the Aegean. The texts record common activities such as trade between Kanesh and the city state of Assur, and between Assyrian merchants and local people. The tablets tell us about the economy as well as the culture, language, religion, and private lives of individuals we can identify by name, occupation, and sometimes even personality. This book presents an in-depth account of this vibrant Bronze Age Anatolian society, revealing the daily lives of its inhabitants.

Lärt och mycket spännande om den verkliga förebilden till Indiana Jones. "Sjunkna palats" handlar om de europeiska upptäckterna och utforskningarna av Assyriens palats och Babyloniens städer under förrförra seklet. Den internationellt erkände assyriologen Mogens Trolle Larsen sätter här inte bara in upptäckterna i sin historiska kontext. Med hjälp av brev och andra källor förmedlar han därtill en livfull beskrivning av de färgstarka personer som i samarbete men kanske i ännu högre grad i strid med varandra lägger grunden till de assyriologiska och arkeologiska vetenskaperna. I centrum står den unge britten Austen Henry Layard (enligt bokens författare den verkliga förebilden till Indiana Jones) och fransmannen Paolo Emilio Botta, som först kom på tanken att gräva i de stora högar under vilka Assyriens väldiga städer låg dolda. En stor del av såväl British Museums som Louvrens samlingar kom till under den korta period som denna bok behandlar. Hur okunniga arkeologins pionjärer än var när det gällde arkeologiska metoder, så var det dessa fåtaliga men modiga äventyrares upptäckter som undergrävde den ålderdomliga bibeltrogna historieförståelsen och banade väg för den förståelse av världshistorien som vi har idag.
