In 1887, an Egyptian woman made an astonishing discovery among the ruins of the heretic king Akhenaten's capital city, a site now known as Amarna. She found a cache of cuneiform tablets, nearly four hundred in all, that included correspondence between the pharaohs and the mightiest powers of the day, such as the Hittites, Babylonians, and Assyrians. Love, War, and Diplomacy tells the story of the Amarna Letters and the dramatic world of the Bronze Age they revealed.

When we first encounter the Bible, we are taught its stories—Adam and Eve, Moses and the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, and more. When a story lacks the details we crave, we fill in the blanks—with what we've seen in movies, read in books, and been told by our Sunday school teachers. But there's a better way to encounter the whole story of Scripture: uncovering and understanding the ancient world and the people who experienced biblical events.

In this authoritative but light-hearted account of beers gone by, archaeologist Tate Paulette brings the famous "land between the rivers" back to life in vivid detail. We meet not only the beers of ancient Mesopotamia, but also the people who brewed them and drank them, the places where these people lived and worked, the taverns and temples and tombs where they did their drinking, the stories they told about beer, their preferred styles of drinking, their brewing equipment and drinking paraphernalia, the gods and goddesses who governed their lives and who were also partial to a drink.

Загадки древних цивилизаций, сказочные сокровища царских гробниц, ловушки, опасности и проклятия, подстерегающие дерзких первооткрывателей, рискнувших извлечь из небытия храмы забытых богов... Звучит как тизер к приключенческому фильму.

Произошло это в том числе и благодаря книге, которую вы держите в руках.

Avventurosa e carica di mistero: da sempre, è così che immaginiamo l’archeologia. Spesso legata a paesi lontani, esotici e favolosi, o a scoperte di tesori e reperti straordinari come le tombe etrusche, gli affreschi di Pompei, le sculture classiche. Non è più così da molto tempo, da quando nell’Ottocento l’archeologia ha iniziato a distinguersi dalla storia dell’arte antica ed è diventata una scienza intimamente connessa alla storia dell’uomo, contribuendo, insieme alle fonti scritte, a scoprire e raccontare la vita nelle diverse civiltà.
