When the Assyrian empire fell, the library burned to the ground, and its contents, clay tablets inscribed with cuneiform writing, lay buried for thousands of years until a team of Victorian archaeologists discovered the remnants in modern-day Iraq. Introducing us to Ashurbanipal and his family, scribes, astrologers, physicians, and more, Wisnom explores the library's tablets and the details they divulge about how these ancient people thought about the world. -- Trove"
