The Incredible story everyone missed!!!
Unequivocally,maybe unintentionally shows that any understanding of Western history is dead in the water unless early Mesopotamian history is fully grappled and wrestled with!!!!

Mesopotamia
I liked the delivery of the book which was engaging. I would certainly recommend this to anyone looking for a survey of this historical account.
However, I would caution readers who are not well grounded in their own studies of the biblical character Abraham and the account of his life as recorded specifically by the Jonathan Ben Uzziel Targum of Genesis and the Testimonies of Enoch, Jubilees and Jasher. Study the books first before taking on this audio book so that you are better equipped to identify the subtle biases against the above mentioned by the author, whether intended or incidental.

Little context, endless lists of names rulers.
Poorly written though not so badly read. It's as if somebody who had no knowledge or experience with history was tasked with consulting some standards such as the Cambridge Ancient History, or possibly even Wikipedia and summarising the history of Mesopotamia, which they do with by simply listing the Cities and States and the Rulers who governed them, throwing in a few details of what we know. But completely lacking an overarching narrative structure or explanation of why Mesopotamia was the cradle of civilisation and how it evolved. It's more like a dictionary of Ancient Mesopotamia and a completely inappropriate treatment for an audio work. It basically amounts to a waste of time and money.
