About Explanation of Babylonian, Sumerian, Assyrian, Ugaritic, Phoenician Seals & Slabs

PUBLISHED BY TIMES SQUARE PRESS. It was said, "A picture is worth a thousand words." True, very true! But what if a picture is hard to understand or does not explain what we are looking at? This happens when the inscriptions on or under the pictures or illustrations are written in a language we do not understand, such as Cuneiform, Ugaritic, Akkadian, Sumerian, Phoenician, and similar writing systems of the ancient Middle and Near East. In addition, there are thousands of slabs, cylinder seals, tablets, and obelisks of ancient and/or vanished civilizations, which are hard to decipher. And in many instances, no pertaining inscriptions or texts were ever provided to explain what the statues, figurines, slabs and tablets represent. This book was written in order to deal with and to explain these concerns and to provide the readers with sufficient guidance and explanation of major archaeological finds and monuments ranging from a figurine to a massive edifice.
