The author writes archeology for the layman, and is the wife of writer, J.B. Priestly.
This work contrasts the Mesopotamians (constant warfare, led by
competing gods, making walled cities) and the Egyptians (rural, eternal
life) essentially changeless.
The description of the Indus Valley is linked to the others.
