Omschrijving

Before pyramids touched the sky, humanity climbed the stars.

Rising from the plains of ancient Mesopotamia, the Great Ziggurat of Ur was more than a monument of mud brick and stone—it was a gateway between heaven and earth, where priests measured the movements of the moon, tracked planets, and shaped the earliest foundations of science, religion, and civilization itself.

In Ascending the Sacred Steps, you are invited to journey into the heart of the world's first urban society and uncover how a single monumental structure became the intellectual engine of ancient Mesopotamia.

This book reveals:

✔ How the Ziggurat of Ur functioned as temple, observatory, economic hub, and political symbol
✔ The astonishing astronomical knowledge developed by Mesopotamian priest-scholars—centuries before Greece
✔ How early Sumerians laid the groundwork for mathematics, timekeeping, law, and administration
✔ The hidden relationship between religion, science, and power in the world's first civilization
✔ Why the legacy of Ur still shapes how we measure time, map the sky, and understand civilization today

Drawing from archaeology, ancient texts, and modern scientific research, this book bridges the gap between lost ancient wisdom and modern understanding, presenting Mesopotamia not as a primitive culture—but as a civilization of extraordinary intellectual depth.

If you are fascinated by:

…this book will fundamentally change how you see the ancient world.
