这部重要的作品描述了公元前第二个千年为皇家宫殿、寺庙和坟墓创造的非凡艺术，这些宫殿、寺庙和坟墓从美索不达米亚、叙利亚和安纳托利亚到塞浦路斯、埃及和爱琴海。最高艺术水平的物品反映了整个东地中海地区复杂贸易网络的发展，以及近东、爱琴海和埃及文化风格的融合。这些广泛联系的影响记录在送往皇家和寺庙宝库的珍贵材料中，最引人注目的是在安纳托利亚南部海岸的商船残骸上发现的物品。这一时期的历史和古代近东大国和小国之间的互动所促进的艺术创造力，由一群国际学者在展览中包括的350多件物品的论文和条目中进行了讨论，继续了具有里程碑意义的目录“第一城市的艺术”（2003）中开始的迷人故事。
This important volume describes the extraordinary art created in the second millennium B.C. for royal palaces, temples, and tombs from Mesopotamia, Syria, and Anatolia to Cyprus, Egypt, and the Aegean. Objects of the highest artistry reflect the development of a sophisticated trade network throughout the eastern Mediterranean region and the resulting fusion of Near Eastern, Aegean, and Egyptian cultural styles.The impact of these far-flung connections is documented in the precious materials sent to royal and temple treasuries and, most dramatically, in objects discovered on merchant shipwrecks off the shores of southern Anatolia. The history of the period and the artistic creativity fostered by interaction among the powers of the ancient Near East, both great and small, are discussed by an international group of scholars in essays and entries on the more than 350 objects included in the exhibition, continuing the fascinating story begun in the landmark catalogue "Art of the First Cities" (2003).
