These are the texts of a symposium accompanying an exhibition 'Beyond Babylon' held at the MET, the Metropolitan Museum of Arts in NY, in 2008 and 2009. The book covers various aspects of regional contacts in the ancient Near East, in the 2nd millennium BCE , a period that – apart from the Egyptian Nile Valley – was much less homogeneous than the preceding or following millennia (and for which we actually have far fewer sources). Notably absent: the Hebrews; the introduction itself points this out as remarkable, but at the same time also justified, because in this period (the 2nd millennium) this people (if we can speak of a real people) was still really on the margins of history.

In conjunction with the 2008-9 exhibition Beyond Babylon: Art, Trade, and Diplomacy in the Second Millennium B.C. at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, a series of lectures brought together major international scholars in a variety of fields concerned with the worlds of the Near East and the eastern Mediterranean in the middle and late Bronze Ages. Interconnections among these rich and complex civilizations extending from Mesopotamia to the Mediterranean were developed in detail, ranging from reports of new archaeological discoveries and insightful art historical interpretations of material culture, to innovative investigations of literary, historical, and political aspects of interactions among these great powers. This symposium volume, containing twenty-six essays, is an ideal companion to the exhibition catalogue, providing compelling overviews of the ancient Near Eastern and eastern Mediterranean cultures during this period that are both broad and deep in their range.
