My take on AHAL: it is a long-form prose poem of the counter history of civilization. Perlman references stories from the bible & ancient history so reading Herodotus & Thucydides is a place to start. Lol, actually wikipedia is the place to start. Ur is an actual place. He is retelling history. Just know that what he is talking about is fleshed out elsewhere in case you want the official version. AHAL is more about what history means and Perlman's view can be gleaned from the text without knowing all the history he knows, imo.
