babylonians
Beyond legends and prejudices such as the Tower of Babel, the Babylonians emerge as humanity's oldest high civilization, with an impact on the early development of written language and sciences such as astrology, medicine, and mathematics. King Hammurabi, who shaped a permanent empire and created a comprehensive set of laws in the 18th century BC, gained immortal fame, and the Epic of Gilgamesh, written in 1200 BC, became one of the masterpieces of world literature. Masterfully summarizing the history of the Babylonians in this small book, Michael Jursa presents the economic, social, religious and cultural characteristics of this civilization in an understandable language and arouses interest in getting to know these important people of the ancient East more closely.
