Pretty good

It’s amazing how much is known about the Ancient Anatolian People, and how many of the items and practices we use today were invented by the book. This little book gives a very fascinating insight for anyone interested in learning about ancient civilization.

Good detail

Very basic spiritual beliefs are covered -- does not get into any of the sex cult/ infant sacrifice stuff from this region. If that's what you are looking for, you need another book.

Fantastic

This is fantastic for any student planning a report, as well as anyone planning to travel to Mesopotamia. It gives a sense of the incredible wealth amassed in the early empires, the politics and near-constant warfare, construction techniques, and arts.
