Great customer service. Good book for information on the Elalmite world. Read more

I teach ancient history and usually the textbooks only have a sentence or two about Elam or there is nothing at all about them. Current history was pieced together from cuneiform sources and the Bible, but I never saw a book about them until now. I always try to keep up with the new scholarship and I read an article that Linear Elamite was deciphered by François Desset. When I googled his name, this book came up. He was one of many scholars that came together to write this book. The cover the 19th century archaeology, Elamite language, history, art, and much more. Read more

I read this after having read the Routledge World Sumerian World book, as Susa came up a lot and I wanted to read more. This book has as much detail as I assume exists about the Elamites. There's clearly a lot about this group we still need to learn, but the collection of essays is very comprehensive and lets you get multiple perspectives on this people. It's amazing how politically influential the Elamites were - Mesopotamian history would have been entirely different without them. Puzur Inshushinak, Shutruk Nahunte, Untash Napirisha. I didn't know any of those names before, I'm glad I do now. Read more
