Status Updates From The Cambridge Ancient Histo...

I can come back to it later but I am interested in much later periods.

Too much detail. I wish there was a two page summary.

There is a lot of material on the Eridu site. I am moving on to the city of Ur. This chapter is about cities. It is called Prehistory because it is before writing but scholars think differently now.

It is not outdated. I get a baseline here. Uruk period is well covered by books which must be consulted.

I am glad I bought this volume. It needs revision very badly but who has the time. But there is no shortage of books in the library. This is Mallowan chapter. Extremely lengthy.

Mallowan chapter is very long, I need to plough through it. For the Uruk period I need other books.

Now chapter 7a by Mellaart.

Chapter 2 has excellent information but it’s putting me to sleep. Geography is not my thing.

That was enough geology. Chapter one ends on page 34. Chapter 2 seems to be about who knows what. Let me try to read.

For earth history I need to study much later books but it is interesting that so many pages are devoted to geology.

I am not going to read all chapters. The first one is on earth history and is extremely well written. Geology textbooks are quite difficult to like.
