First published in 2010. Sir Leonard Woolley was an archaeologist and this book is about his dig at Ur, which is the subject of this classic work, inspired Agatha Christie's Murder in Mesopotamia. When Woolley began work at Dr, little was known about the early civilizations of Mesopotamia. His work at Dr over twelve years, which included the excavation of royal tombs, the discovery of the gold jewellery of Queen PuAbi and the excavation of the famous ziggurat, allowed scholars to reconstruct the civilization of Sumer in the 3rd century B.C.

Top review from the United States

Kat Starwolf
5.0 out of 5 stars “Excellent Basic Primer for Learning About Sumerian Civilization”
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2022
While quite a bit else has been discovered in regard to the Sumerian/Mesopotamian city-state of Ur since Wooley first published this work in 1927 (almost a hundred years ago!), it is still an excellent source from which to learn about the way the Sumerians lived...and died, since the majority of what Wooley determined in regard to Ur has changed little if any.

Wooley is very succinct, yet he makes his offerings quite palatable.

Great read.
