Ancient Near East studies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ancient Near East studies (or ANE studies) is the field of academic study of the ancient Near East (ANE). As such it is an umbrella term for Assyriology, in some cases extending to Egyptology.

History of ANE studies

In Britain the first Assyriological appointments in the University of London date to 1904, when T. G. Pinches of the British Museum was appointed to a professorship.[1]
