Episode description
Historian Selena Wisnom and New Lines’ Lydia Wilson discuss how the legacy of the Assyrian King Ashurbanipal, as set out in Wisnom’s book “The Library of Ancient Wisdom,” might be an integral part of the West’s cultural heritage, and consider why Mesopotamian history is almost completely overlooked in the modern world.
