Opis

What do we know of the real Nebuchadnezzar? Was there an historical precedent for the mythical Gilgamesh? Who were the Hittites? When did Isaiah preach? How did Jezebel get her reputation? These and many more questions are answered in this survey of the people who inhabited the Near East between the 25th and the second centuries BC. From Palestine to Iran and from Alexander the Great to Zechariah, the text presents a comprehensive reference guide for all those with an interest in the ancient history of the area. A comprehesive glossary, chronological charts, maps and bibliographical information complement the biographical entries.
