book
The targeted destruction of ancient sites and monuments in
the Middle East provokes widespread outrage in the West. But
what is our connection to the ancient Near East? In this
updated edition of What Makes Civilization? archaeologist
David Wengrow investigates the origins of farming, writing,and
cities in ancient Mesopotamia (Iraq) and Egypt, and explores
the connections between these two civilizations. It is the story
of how people first created kingdoms and monuments to the
gods and, just as importantly, how they pioneered everyday
practices that we might now take for granted, such asfamiliar
ways of cooking food and keeping the house and body clean.
Wengrow asks why these ancient cultures, where so many
features of modern life originated, have come to symbolize the
remote and the exotic. Today, perhaps more than ever, he
argues, the beleaguered cultural heritage of ancient Egypt and
Mesopotamia stands as a warning for the future. A warning of
the sacrifices people will tolerate to preserve their chosen form
of life of the potential for unfettered expansion that exists
within anycultural tradition and of blood perhaps yet to be
spilled, on the altar of a misguided notion of civilization.
