On 10 November 2009 I have written on the occasion of 20 years fall on past or existing walls in the world. Suitable for that I would like to draw attention to an opulent text and picture book:
"walls as boundaries"
Edited by Astrid Nunn
Verlag Philipp von Zabern, Mainz 2009
216 pages, 83 Fig
bound 29,90 €.
who lives in Würzburg antiquity researcher Astrid Nunn and other experts in the field tell the story of border walls - from the Amorites wall in Mesopotamia (2032 BC) to today's walls - Baghdad security zone, the boundary of the claimed by Morocco Sahara or the border wall between Israel and Palestine, the Great Wall, the Berlin Wall, Hadrian's Wall and the Limes. Reassuringly, all these walls of the past were eventually overcome, for the remaining we want just that.
