As of this day, the 29th day of the month after Rome’s 2760th birthday, there were 2400 articles archived on this website. A search turned up over 200 dedicated specifically to Mesopotamia, including posts on various threads. So far I have listed 178 here below. Many concern other parts of the world, like those dealing with Alexander the Great. My intention was to make some sort of catalogue of those articles written by members about civilisations between the Taurus Mountains and the Indus. If someone besides myself finds this list helpful, all the better. I apologise for any mistakes or omissions. If anyone knows about an article that isn’t listed but should be, please inform me at once ! I will make the corrections immediately !
[update : 29/05/07] Apiladey ApilSin has clued me in on a host of articles that appeared here at the «Mesopotamia History» archive. Almost all of them now figure in the list below. I have not taken account of posts that link to on-line articles hosted outside of this AW website, so please visit that archive to see those links.
