The Religion of Babylonia and Assyria
Apart from having the most delightful name in the history of forever, Theophilus G. Pinches was an expert on Ancient Babylon and Assyria. This short book is comprised of things like the story of creation, the principal gods of the Ancient Babylonians and Assyrians, and demons, exorcisms and ceremonies."The religion of the Babylonians and Assyrians was the polytheistic faith professed by the peoples inhabiting the Tigris and Euphrates valleys from what may be regarded as the dawn of history until the Christian era began, or, at least, until the inhabitants were brought under the influence of Christianity. The chronological period covered may be roughly estimated at about 5000 years. The belief of the people, at the end of that time, being Babylonian heathenism leavened with Judaism, the country was probably ripe for the reception of the new faith. Christianity, however, by no means replaced the earlier polytheism, as is evidenced by the fact, that the worship of Nebo and the gods associated with him continued until the fourth century of the Christian era."
The Babylonian Tablets of the Berens Collection
Part of the British Society Monograph series, this is a book that basically contains lots of information about Babylonian seals and tablets. I can find no description for the book elsewhere and seeing as I haven't read it, I'm just going from what I see as I skim through. Lots of illustrations of ancient tablets and descriptions and translations of what is on them. The tablets themselves have all sorts of information on them, from food consignments to garments, to workmen's wages and the sale of a female slave.

Historical Genesis
The beginning chapters of Genesis come alive with characters, places, and events almost totally unknown outside of the Bible itself except when illuminated by the fascinating history of the ancient Near East. Did a man we call Adam actually exist? Was someone known to us as Noah warned of a cataclysmic flood and instructed to build an ark? Could the Tower of Babel incident actually have happened? The reader will gain a new appreciation for the historical integrity of Genesis 2-11, and marvel at the evidence that the persons, places, and events depicted, though long misunderstood, could be real.
Eden's Serpent: It's Mesopotamian Origins
Several pre-biblical protagonists appearing in Mesopotamian myths are identified as being fused together and recast as the Garden of Eden's serpent.
Archæology and the Bible
'Archæology and the Bible' is a book about archeological findings that are in support of Biblical teachings. In Egypt and Babylonia, vistas of history have been opened to views that were undreamed of before exploration began. The same is true for that part of the history of Palestine which antedates the coming of Israel. Information has also been obtained which illuminates later portions of the history, and makes the Biblical narrative seem much more vivid. It is now possible to make real to oneself the details of the life of the Biblical heroes, and to understand the problems of their world as formerly one could not do. Exploration has also brought to light many inscriptions in the various countries that confirm or illuminate the traditions, history, poetry, and prophecy of the Bible.
A History of Egypt under the Pharaohs
Reprint of the original, first published in 1881.
The Literature of Ancient Sumer
This anthology of Sumerian literature constitutes the most comprehensive collection ever published, and includes examples of most of the different types of composition written in the language, from narrative myths and lyrical hymns to proverbs and love poetry. The translations have benefited both from the work of many scholars and from our ever-increasing understanding of Sumerian. In addition to reflecting the advances made by modern scholarship, the translations are written in clear, accessible English. An extensive introduction discusses the literary qualities of the works, the people who created and copied them in ancient Iraq, and how the study of Sumerian literature has evolved over the last 150 years.
