En el presente libro, el autor utiliza los restos arqueológicos y los textos antiguos para explorar la historia de Mesopotamia, desde los tiempos prehistóricos hasta la ascensión de Babilonia, a comienzos del segundo milenio a.C. En su relato, documentado con ilustraciones procedentes de las amplias colecciones del British Museum, se refleja el dramático flujo y reflujo del destino de sumerios, acadios y otros habitantes de la región mesopotámica, esbozando las historias de cada uno de ellos y reuniéndolas en un todo coherente.

711-712: conquista islámica de Hispania.1212: batalla de Las Navas de Tolosa.1412: Compromiso de Caspe.1512: incorporación de Navarra a Castilla.Los centenarios de aquellos sucesos confluyen en 2012.
