Ancient Near East: The Basics surveys the history of the ancient Middle East from the invention of writing to Alexander the Great’s conquest.

Topics covered include:

  • What do we mean when we talk about the Ancient Near East?
  • The rise and fall of powerful states and monarchs
  • Daily life both in the cities and out in the fields
  • The legacy of the Ancient Near East: religion, science and writing systems.
