To date, the pathbreaking medical contributions of the early Mesopotamians have been only vaguely understood. Due to the combined problems of an extinct language, gaps in the archeological record, the complexities of pharmacy and medicine, and the dispersion of ancient tablets throughout the museums of the world, it has been nearly impossible to get a clear and comprehensive view of what medicine was really like in ancient Mesopotamia.The collaboration of medical expert Burton R. Andersen and cuneiformist Jo Ann Scurlock makes it finally possible to survey this collected corpus and discern magic from experimental medicine in Ashur, Babylon, and Nineveh. Diagnoses in Assyrian and Babylonian Medicine is the first systematic study of all the available texts, which together reveal a level of medical knowledge not matched again until the nineteenth century A.D. Over the course of a millennium, these nations were able to develop tests, prepare drugs, and encourage public sanitation. Their careful observation and recording of data resulted in a description of symptoms so precise as to enable modern identification of numerous diseases and afflictions.Jo Ann Scurlock is an internationally known scholar of the Ancient Near East. She holds a doctorate in Assyriology from the University of Chicago and is an adjunct professor of history at Elmhurst College.Burton R. Andersen is a professor of medicine and microbiology and former chief of the Section of Infectious Diseases at the University of Illinois College of Medicine.

...funny, how does Maggie know these people really got real degrees from their "so-called" universities? She was quick enough to insist that she KNEW that Dr. Joseph had been given his diploma by the CIA, which put him through Princeton just so he could "attack the Assyrian identity". Now here she comes fawning and kissing white ass because these people are stroking her balls, making her feel important...it seems Maggie and the rest of them have no plans of ever doing anything themselves...they'll just attack and call for the hanging of anyone, assyrians especially, who do anything about anything...meanwhile Maggie bitches, and then finds white people she can shine up to because they make her feel important.

...these people expect to be given a country?
