Livre 56 sur 70: Forgotten Civilizations
Synopsis
In The Hurrians: Lords of Northern Mesopotamia, Elliot Rowan brings to life one of the ancient Near East's most influential yet often overlooked civilizations. From the mountains of eastern Anatolia to the fertile plains of northern Mesopotamia and Syria, Hurrian communities established kingdoms, cities, and cultural traditions that flourished at the crossroads of the Bronze Age world. Their greatest political achievement, the kingdom of Mitanni, emerged as a major power that competed with the Hittites and Assyrians while maintaining a celebrated diplomatic alliance with the pharaohs of Egypt.
Drawing on archaeological discoveries, cuneiform archives, diplomatic correspondence, legal records, and surviving religious texts, Rowan reconstructs a civilization whose history must be recovered from evidence scattered across the ancient Near East. He explores the rise of Hurrian communities, the power of Mitanni, chariot warfare and the warrior aristocracy, international diplomacy, trade, urban life, law, religion, mythology, and the remarkable literary and musical traditions that survived long after Hurrian political power disappeared.
More than the history of a forgotten Bronze Age people, this book reveals how the Hurrians helped shape the interconnected world of the ancient Near East. Their gods and myths transformed Hittite religion, their rulers participated in an international system stretching from Anatolia to Egypt, and their cultural traditions endured among successor societies even after their kingdoms vanished. Through the ruins of Urkesh and Nuzi, the archives of Hattusa and Amarna, and the surviving traces of a once widespread language, the Hurrians emerge again as a civilization whose influence reached far beyond the borders of their lost kingdoms.
