Description

Explore two centuries of archaeological discovery and scholarly interpretation with Mario Liverani's comprehensive examination of how Western researchers have reconstructed ancient Babylon. From the biblical Tower of Babel to modern excavations across the Near East, this volume traces the evolving theories and methodologies that shaped our understanding of one of history's most significant cities. Part of the Studies in Ancient Near Eastern Records (SANER) series, this book critically reviews the major approaches scholars have employed to move beyond legend and recover the historical reality of Babylon. Liverani's insightful overview connects archaeological findings with the competing narratives that have defined Babylon scholarship, offering readers both a scholarly resource and an accessible account of how ancient cities are reconstructed through fragments of evidence and interpretive frameworks.
