Uruk: The First City and Its Vanished Glory

Long before Rome or Babylon, there was Uruk—the first great city of human civilization. Rising from the fertile lands of Mesopotamia over 5,000 years ago, Uruk was a thriving center of innovation, trade, and culture. It gave birth to writing, monumental architecture, and complex social structures that laid the foundation for future civilizations.

This book uncovers the breathtaking rise and mysterious decline of Uruk, exploring its legendary kings, awe-inspiring temples, and the daily lives of its people. From the epic tales of Gilgamesh to the city's lasting influence on urban development, discover how Uruk shaped the world—and why it eventually disappeared into the sands of time.

A fascinating journey into humanity’s first city, its vanished glory, and the echoes it still leaves in history.
