Sumer: The scene is set - Ubaid Review "The Scene is Set: Ubaid". Marsh Arabs Image credit: Nathan Bauman. "...I lived in the Marshes of Southern Iraq from the end of 1951 until June 1958...I spent these years in the Marshes because I enjoyed being there...Soon the Marshes will probably be drained; when this happens, a way of life that has lasted for thousands of years will disappear." ~ The Marsh Arabs, Wilfred Thesiger,Penguin Classic. 2008 (originally published 1964)
