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!

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.
