Description: This book explores the ancient Assyrian system of measurement, focusing on the development and utilization of linear and surface measures. The author, an expert in Assyriology, draws on extensive research and archaeological findings to reconstruct the evolution of these measures, from their humble beginnings in everyday life to their incorporation into complex architectural and land surveying practices. The book situates this system within the broader context of ancient Near Eastern metrology, shedding light on the origins and interconnections of measurement systems across civilizations. By examining the practical applications and theoretical underpinnings of Assyrian measurement, this book deepens our understanding of the scientific and mathematical sophistication of ancient Mesopotamia and its enduring influence on subsequent societies.
