  • Ancient Mesopotamia

    by Henry Williams ...

The broad blossom is the Delta, extending from Aboosir to Tineh, a direct distance of a hundred and eighty miles, which the projection of the coast—the graceful swell of the petals—enlarges to two hundred and ...

    by John Mandeville ...
    Translated by Charles Moseley ...

Although Marco Polo's slightly earlier narrative ultimately proved more factually accurate, ... Read more
