Way too big to read quickly, CHRONLOLGY is an essential in any Educated library, virtually an encyclopedia of Western Civilization to 2000. While the book begins billions of years ago, I advise you begin in 4000 BC on page 30. This will get you a floor upon which to atand and watch Western Civilization grow through Greece, Rome, England and the USA. (map available)
For a more detailed look at the Tigris/Euphrates valley (Babylon, et. al.), NEAR EAST, also by Ike Asimov, at least the first 11 chapters.
