Biography
Daniel Snell is the L. J. Semrod Presidential Professor of History at the University of Oklahoma.
"A reader for whom this is new material might well find the chronological narrative compelling and be inspired to seek out more detailed books and articles. Snell manages to weave Egyptian and Mesopotamian history together and to provide a big picture of the whole area. Snell welcomes any interest in the ancient world among the wider public, even if it involves 'escape into imagined worlds, cloud-cuckoo-lands of imagination, informed by ancient artifacts nad stories.' "
