 Concerning that Ash hook, which may make necessary a chance in the history of fishing, the report says:
 But the Fish Got Away
 "Cnc find was, beyond doubt, fish hook Fishing with hook and line was supposed to be virtually non-cMstent in Babylon and Assyria; this is, in fact the explicit statement by writers on the history of fishing So this is the oldest fish hook ever discovered and the evidence for 'h" discovery of fishing by hook and bait before 5000 E. C."
 Detailing the complete excavation of the Sumerian palace, "grcatest and oldest residence of ancient times" the report rccites, "a rich harvest of bcautiul copper utensils imnlements. jewels and ornaments of previous stones were found in the burial places, including objects that helped make the women Of kish models of fashion,

 "The most unique discovery from female burials are copper vanity cascs containing manicure sets. They consist Of pincers tongs and some times nail files.
