Susa and Elam. Archaeological, Philological, Historical and Geographical Perspectives


Book Description

In December 2009, an international congress was held at Ghent University in order to investigate, exactly 20 years after the 36th RAI “Mésopotamie et Elam”, the present state of our knowledge of the Elamite and Susean society from archaeological, philological, historical and geographical points of view. The multidisciplinary character of this congress illustrates the present state of research in the socio-economic, historical and political developments of the Suso-Elamite region from prehistoric times until the great Persian Empire. Because of its strategically important location between the Mesopotamian alluvial plain and the Iranian highlands and its particular interest as point of contact between civilizations, Susa and Elam were of utmost importance for the history of the ancient Near East in general.




The Kingdom of Inwood


Book Description

"America, it's America. There, there, I see it. I see it. I see it. America." People began to cheer, even those who could not yet see it. The ship moved closer and closer and it entered New York Harbor.The cheering and singing continued. Now, suddenly, there was silence. People were mesmerized. People were staring. People were looking at the Statue of Liberty and they weren't cheering any longer, many were crying. Some knelt down on the deck and began to say their Rosary. Ten Hail Marys and an Our Father, were repeated over and over again. Many children, not understanding the moment, seemed confused by the tears of their fathers. Many had never seen their fathers cry. Hugs were in large supply. A Rabbi stood rocking to and fro with his hands clasped on his chest, tears dripped from his eyes onto his cheeks, and then trailed down into his beard. Some people waved at Miss Liberty, as if they expected her to wave back, but she didn't. She did what she was supposed to do. She beckoned.
