Thought for Today

 

Right through the ages we find this universal sense of Divine inspiration - this feeling that a wisdom beyond that of man shapes the destiny of States; that the institutions of men are but the imperfect instruments of a Divine and beneficent energy; helping their higher aims. Should not we, sir, grant the prayer of the many petitions that have been presented to us, by recognising at the opening of our great future our dependence upon God?
Delegate John Glynn, South Australia, Constitutional Convention, 1897

Until the middle of XIX century there was little evidence of the great civilizations that flourished for over 3000 y. between the Tigris and the Euphrates, apart from a few allusions in the Bible. Almost every trace of the arts, sciences and literature of the Summerians, Akkadians and Assyrians was obliterated, hidden under thousands of artificial mounds representing ancient cities. Over the last hundred of years, however, archeologists of various origins have sought to uncover the monuments and texts that reveal the history and civilization of the region known as Mesopotamia, most of which corresponds to the territory of modern Iraq. In the last three decades, perhaps no other country has been so extensively explored by archeologists from all over the world and by the Iraqis themselves, while new texts have been published and older texts translated or reinterpreted by international teams of Sumerologists and Assyriologists. Newly devised and now in its third edition, “Ancient Iraq” covers the political, cultural and socio-economic history of Mesopotamia from the days of the prehistory to the Christian era and somewhat beyond Dr Roux describes for the general public and students the empires that have successively arisen and collapsed in Mesopotamia as well as the institutions, religions, sciences and daily life of its inhabitants.
