Historie

Hanging gardens, stunning architecture, a prototype legal code, macabre myths, towering ziggurats, a four-thousand-year-old medical text, predictions of lunar and solar eclipses, quadratic equations, and trigonometry: the ancient Babylonians did it all!

The Babylonians were indisputably a formidable force in the ancient world’s stage, but how did they rise to power three separate times in Middle Eastern history? What led to their cataclysmic falls? And why did everyone keep stealing their chief god Marduk?

Dive into the riveting stories of the remarkable Babylonians, who transformed the Middle East and left an enduring legacy. Thoroughly researched, engaging, this audiobook will guide you through the fascinating history of a civilization that has left an indelible mark on our world.

Some of the intriguing questions you will explore include:

• Who lived in Babylonia before the Babylonians? And who were the Babylonians? • How did Hammurabi's Law Code influence today’s legal systems? • Why did the Babylonians study the Earth’s rotation using mathematical models? • Did the Babylonians really use the Pythagorean theorem before Pythagoras? • How did Babylon become a holy city and pilgrimage destination? • Who joined the Babylonians’ massive coalition army against Assyria? • Was the Etemenanki ziggurat the Tower of Babel? • How was Cyrus the Great of Persia able to conquer Babylon with almost no bloodshed? • And much, much more!
