Description

The Ur of the Chaldees: A Rediscovered City In 1854, a British Consul at Basra stumbled upon the ancient city that Abraham had left behind. For centuries, this site had been shrouded in mystery, but it wasn't until the end of World War I that serious excavation began. The results were nothing short of remarkable, and four years later, a joint British-American expedition led by Leonard Woolley made history with their discoveries. The story of these excavations is told here, revealing the successive cities built on the site over more than 4,000 years, from days before the flood to the reign of Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon. The daily life of the people who lived through this period is also brought to life in word and picture. This book brings together the findings of Woolley's expedition, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of those who called the Ur of the Chaldees home.
