Brotherhood of Kings: How International Relations Shaped the Ancient Near East

Brotherhood of Kings: How International Relations Shaped the Ancient Near East Over four thousand years ago ambassadors and merchants overcame all manner of obstacles in order to ally the kings of the ancient Near East together as self-proclaimed brothers. This book takes readers on a journey across time and space-from the 24th to the 14th century BCE, and through deserts and river valleys-to meet the colorful characters who first began to tie cultures together.
