Reviews

In the sixth millennium BC, settlers at the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers created the world’s first cities. In doing so, they wrote the opening chapter of the history of human civilization as we comprehend it. Paul Kriwaczek tells their ordinary story.

In Babylon, Paul Kriwaczek tells the story of ancient Mesopotamia from the earliest settlements around 5400 BC, to the eclipse of Babylon by the Persians within the sixth century BC. He chronicles the upward thrust and fall of dynastic power all through this period; he examines its a large number of material, social and cultural innovations and inventions- The wheel, civil, engineering, building bricks, the centralized state, the division of labour, organised religion, sculpture, education, mathematics, law and monumental building.
At the heart of Kriwaczek’s magisterial account, although, is the glory of Babylon – ‘gateway to the gods’ – which rose to glorious prominence under the Amorite king Hammurabi, who unified Babylonia between 1800 and 1750 BC. Whilst Babylonian power would upward push and fall over the ensuing centuries, it retained its importance as a cultural, religious and political centre until its fall to Cyrus the Great of Persia in 539 BC.
