Book excerpt: This book tells the story of the world’s first documented pandemic, based on ancient Sumerian cuneiform tablets and ancient DNA from skeletons. This pandemic eventually involved all of Eurasia and spread to India and Russia. Ancient historians have suggested many theories for the demise of Sumer and the Indus Valley civilisations; but none have ever proposed the possibility of an infectious disease – a pandemic. Hence, this book rewrites ancient history and asks people to consider the possibility of an infectious disease pandemic being the cause of the eradication of a civilisation.
