Between Two Rivers: Ancient Mesopotamia and the Birth of History

In 'Between Two Rivers,' historian Dr. Moudhy Al-Rashid delves into the lives of ancient Mesopotamians by examining the artifacts and written records they left behind.

The book highlights the first writing system, the development of cities, agriculture, myths, medicine, and astronomy in Mesopotamia.

Al-Rashid takes readers on a personal tour of ancient life, showcasing items like bricks used in architecture, classroom tablets, and stone obelisks that reflect the socioeconomic dynamics of the time.

The book illustrates how these ancient people began the human tradition of recording their own histories and how their lives, despite being millennia ago, share relatable moments with our own.
