Imagining Babylon
The Modern Story of an Ancient City
Seiten
Ever since the archaeological rediscovery of the Ancient Near East, generations of scholars have attempted to reconstruct the "real Babylon," known to us before from the evocative biblical account of the Tower of Babel. The author provides an overview of modern, Western approaches, theories, and accounts of the ancient Near Eastern city.
