About this product

Product Information

In Babylon, Paul Kriwaczek tells the story of ancient Mesopotamia from the earliest settlements around 5400BC, to the eclipse of Babylon by the Persians in the sixth century BC. He chronicles the rise and fall of dynastic power during this period; he examines its numerous material, social and cultural innovations and inventions: the wheel, civil, engineering, building bricks, the centralised state, the division of labour, organised religion, sculpture, education, mathematics, law and monumental building. At the heart of Kriwaczek's magisterial account, though, is the glory of Babylon - 'gateway to the gods' - which rose to glorious prominence under the Amorite king Hammurabi, who unified Babylonia between 1800-1750 BC. While Babylonian power would rise and fall over the ensuring centuries, it retained its importance as a cultural, religious and political centure until its fall to Cyrus the Great of Persia, in 539 BC.
