 authentic art, beads, artifacts, collectible treasures from ancient civilizations: Egypt, Rome, Greece and Mesopotamia
The great civilizations of Sumer, Akkadia, and Ur (in present day Iraq) of the third millennium BCE, as well as the later cultures throughout the Eastern Mediterranean (Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, etc.), were rich bead-producing regions, for a long expanse of time.
However, because imported materials were dear, and difficult to acquire, cunning craftsmen sought other avenues of expression, that resulted in the development of artificial materials that were suitable for bead making—namely, faience, “Egyptian blue” or kyanos, and, of course, glass.
It was at Akkadia that iron was first smelted, faience was produced—and these two technologies were combined to facilitate the development of glassmaking.

 How Bel-Marduk Struggled
In the early days of Sumeria and Akkadia the city-kings were priests and medicine-men rather than kings, and it was only when foreign conquerors sought to establish their hold in relation to existing institutions that the distinction of priest and king became definite.
But the god of the priests remained as the real overlord of the land and of priest and king alike.
Within two hundred years the life had altogether gone out of those venerable rituals of Bel-Marduk, and the temple of Bel-Marduk was being used by builders as a quarry.
