Ancient Assyrian and Babylonian Dictionary
If you're into anthropology or languages, this is some cool news from the New York Times. The University of Chicago has just completed a 21 volume dictionary of the ancient Assyrian and Babylonian dialects of Mesopotamia. This compilation has been in the works for 90 years! You can either pay $1995.00 for the full set or $45-$150 for the single volumes, or you can access them online for free.
