How can I possibly get anything else done when I have this little beauty to research? This small clay figurine from Tell al-Wilayah is utterly charming! My 8-year old suggested it is an aardvark! What do you think-hedgehog, or something else entirely? #Mesopotamia #TellAlWilayah #clay_figurine

look what arrived!! stunning! and to quote "the history of Mesopotamia is not just about the milestones or the monumental temples. it's about the people who looked at comets, cradled their babies, and procrastinated their homework." thank you @moudhy.bsky.social for this brilliant and witty book

If you’re in the U.K., you can get your copy of my book, Between Two Rivers, from your local bookshops tomorrow Feb 20th!

…and I’ve heard rumours it is already on shelves in some shops.

Or you can pre-order the book and other formats here 🥰 lnk.to/BetweenTwoRi...
Photo of a book entitled Between Two Rivers: Ancient Mesopotamia and the Birth of History by Moudhy Al-Rashid. The title of the book is written upon golden bands that looks like ribbons and evoke meandering rivers. These are against a blue backdrop. The backdrop of the photo is the same deep blue and the words “20 February 2025” are written to the right of the book. On the far left and right of the image are bands of gold.
