I really enjoyed Dalley’s book The Legacy of Mesopotamia. Somehow I missed that she’s just come out with a new book called The Mystery of the Hanging Garden of Babylon. Well, Christmas is coming.
Someday I’d really like to visit Iraq to try and find and retrace the steps of Gilgamesh and see where the hanging gardens might have been. Right now doesn’t seem like a good time to do so, though. I’m glad Dalley’s carrying on her work.
