Excerpt from The Old Testament in the Light of the Ancient East, Vol. 1: Manual of Biblical ArcheologyI have paid special attention to the first three chapters, and have submitted them to a special revision. They form a key to the whole, and I recommend them for special attention as an introduction to the conception of the universe current in the Ancient East.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
