I see there's another CP offering about to go into prepublication. Nineveh and Its Remains. Where did that come from? I don't remember it coming on line or see it getting close even. http://www.logos.com/product/15462/nineveh-and-its-remains
It's been moving up pretty quickly. And an interesting archaeological story too!
It came out of nowhere [:D] I only saw it last night and placed my bid, which was actually the one that took it over the top.
I see it's already down to $18, with a week to go perhaps it will really drop in price.

I hope so. I only bid $8 and don't want to raise my price so everybody bid, bid, bid.
George is typical Babylonian ... wants the Chaldeans to do the work.
Yey, go Chaldeans.
Thanks for listing this resource on Nineveh. It will be interesting to read what was discovered when it was excavated. Especially since the site now has been subject to vandalism. To get it at $16.00 is a sweet deal!
Isn't this book really about Nimrud?
bump
Joshua ... are you asking about volume 2 (Nimrod and nearby)? There's volume 1 as well.
I did a quick Google search and found an interesting Wikipedia page on the city of Nimrud.

Quote from wiki:
Excavations at Nimrud were first conducted by Austen Henry Layard, working from 1845 to 1847 and from 1849 until 1850. Layard believed at the time that the site was part of Nineveh, and his excavation publications were thus labeled.
If this is true, than the resource we are all bidding on is NOT about Nineveh at all, its about Nimrud.
now down to the $14 I originally bid
We have a few days to get it down to $10, which is what I originally bid. [Y] [<:o)] [H]
EDIT: What! No party-time? It's there but not showing.
For information on confusing Nimrud with Nineveh, you may wish to both read the Logos.com write up and then search your library for 'Kuyunjik'.
The quote below is from Anchor Yale (vol 3 p367)
Actually Botta had already excavated at Khorsabad in 1843–44, and his success was documented in the 5 volumes of his Monuments de Ninive (Paris 1846–50). More important was Layard’s work at Kalah (Nimrud, 1845–47 and 1849–51) and Nineveh (Kuyunjik, 1847 and 1849–50). The second volume of Layard’s Nineveh and its Remains (London 1849) contained “An Enquiry into the Manners and Arts of the Ancient Assyrians,” as a kind of Assyrian counterpart to Wilkinson’s Manners and Customs. Layard’s second work of this type, Discoveries in the Ruins of Nineveh and Babylon (London 1853) usefully supplemented the first with more material of this nature. In a fashion similar to Wilkinson’s, Layard also connected only small sections of the reliefs with individual biblical verses.
