A Title Much Cooler Than Anything on the Old Site
I would love to read more about the Nabataeans (the ancient Arab culture that built Petra), especially a good historical fiction book..... yeah, that would be thread lock fast.
(I do think that there is a dearth of good books about the various powers in Mesopotamia throughout ancient history. If you want to read up on the Romans or the Egyptians, you can't throw a stone in a library without hitting another book. But the Akkadians? Assyrians? Acaharmenids? Good luck with that.)
I would also love a good quality mini series on the life of Enheduanna. Widely credited as the first known author, the had an interesting life. Daughter of Sargon, who established the Arkaddian Empire, and placed her as the high priestess of the moon god Nanna in the Sumerian city of Ur. She was later exiled and eventually reclaimed her position. Title it "The Exaltation of Inanna" after her poem in honor of Inanna, Summerian goddess of love, fertility, and war, whom Enheduanna credit for her restoration.
The only work I could find is the book, Enheduanna: Sumerian High Priestess and Princess, by Turkish lawyer and author Ali Eryılmaz. https://www.amazon.com/Enheduanna-S...09KX1WCYM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8. But according to those who've left reviews, the translation from Turkish and the editing are terrible.
