This volume presents Babylon as it has been passed down through
Western culture: through the Bible, classical texts, in Medieval
travel accounts, and through depictions of the Tower motif in art. It
then details the discovery of the material culture remains of Babylon
from the middle of the 19th century and through the great excavation
of 1899-1917, and focuses on the encounter between the Babylon of
tradition and the Babylon unearthed by the archaeologists. This book
is unique in its multi-disciplinary approach, combining expertise in
biblical studies and Assyriology with perspectives on history, art
history, intellectual history, reception studies and contemporary
issues.
