About this book

Before Babylon had its kings, the lands of Sumer and Akkad held early city-states, and this 1910 history follows them from prehistoric times to the founding of the Babylonian monarchy. Leonard W. King worked in the British Museum's department of Egyptian and Assyrian antiquities.

His preface says recent excavations had changed ideas about the age of Babylonian civilization. The book discusses early contacts with Egypt and Elam and the spread of Sumerian culture toward the Hittites. A map, plans and illustrations accompany it, including the stele of Narâm-Sin, king of Agade.
