Document Details : Title: A New History of the Ancient Near East, Part 2 Author(s): VAN DE MIEROOP, Marc Journal: Bibliotheca Orientalis Volume: 80 Issue: 5-6 Date: 2023 Pages: 455-474 DOI: 10.2143/BIOR.80.5.3293583 Abstract : The diachronically structured Oxford History of the Ancient Near East project covers the period from around 2100 to 1100 BC in its second and third volumes, both of which appeared in 2022. This review aims to show the differences in the overall characteristics of the periods before and after the so-called Dark Age in the middle of that millennium and in our ability to study them. It also points out how in projects of this nature contributors use individual voices and can give opposing answers to the same historical questions. |
