Ur of the Chaldees Illustrated Book •

Ur Kasdim, commonly translated as Ur of the Chaldeans, is a city mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as the birthplace of Abraham, the patriarch of the Israelites.
 
This vintage 1940s archaeological history book by Sir Leonard Woolley tells the story of the significant discoveries made by archaeologists who excavated Ur over many years—narrated by the leader of the expedition himself.
 
A fascinating read for anyone interested in history and archaeology, the book is richly illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and images that bring the ancient city to life.
