A Sumerian Palace And The \"A\" Cemetery At Kish, Mesopotamia by Ernest Mackay offers a complete excavation report on one of the world's most significant archaeological sites. Here, the grandeur of the Kish palace excavation is brought vividly to life alongside the discovery of the enigmatic Sumerian \"A\" Cemetery, where Mesopotamian burial goods-ornate, mysterious, and haunting-testify to the beliefs and artistry of early dynastic Sumer. This archaeological site monograph is more than a technical record; it is a journey through ancient Mesopotamia, Iraq, illuminated by detailed illustrated archaeology plates that capture the splendour of artefacts, architecture, and cuneiform tablet archaeology. Mackay's meticulous documentation bridges the past and present, serving as an essential near eastern studies reference and a touchstone for museum archaeology research. The findings from Kish resonate with the legendary Ur royal tombs study, offering fresh insight into the rituals and daily life of a lost world. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For those fascinated by the origins of urban life, the mysteries of ancient burial, or the enduring legacy of Sumer, this work stands as both a scholarly cornerstone and a cultural treasure. It belongs on the shelves of anyone passionate about the rise of civilisation and the enduring echoes of Mesopotamia's first great cities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 198\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 11, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67589605589266,"sku":"9789354366406","price":27.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/hzM44FRleU9789354366406.webp?v=1790812259","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/a-sumerian-palace-and-the-a-cemetery-at-kish-mesopotamia-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
