The Bible.
Book of Genesis up to Ezra and Nehemiah. Covers the period between creation (4000 BC) up to the Persian empire (500 BC).
The apocryphal book of Jasher might also be worth a read if you want to learn more about Babylon.
Jeremiah Perez

Ugarit isn't Mesopotamia you idiot
Asher Wright
its part of the same zone, its like if somebody asked about the Roman Empire and somebody gave a book about Germany in the period. Its still related.

The Sumerians where Sumerian.
Jeremiah Cooper
No but Egyptians are mongrels descended from a group of Sumerians
Ethan Collins
The more we study history the more we realize that we are all mongrels, my dear user.
Alexander Nguyen
Did civilization begin in Sumeria?
Was humanity just small groups of nomadic hunters-gatherers before Sumer?
Brayden Powell
>Did civilization begin in Sumeria?
No, of course not. The Sumerians themselves would have told you that.
Jeremiah Brown
It's just the earliest we know of, not necessarily the earliest to exist.

I wonder if I should learn Akkadian. I keep hearing about how it is to Aramaic (which I speak) what Latin is to English. Or maybe I should be satisfied with understanding 2nd century Mesopotamian chants from birth. Hey, I just noticed birth is basically 2 letters away from created, born, or created or born thing in common Aramaic.
To make this post useful, here's a short article about the connection of the two languages: aina.org

I was born in Bagdad and have always been interested about the history of my great ancestors.
Thomas Lee
Those aren't your ancestors you Arab mutt.
Nicholas Martin
More than just Arabs are born in Baghdad. And there are whole groups of Iraqi Arabs who are not considered "mutts" at all.
William Phillips
>Iraqi Arabs don't consider themselves mutts at all
Mutts tend to be in denial.
