About the Book

Discover the true story of the Empire of the Euphrates and the Tigris: its conquests, its culture, and its decline, from the charismatic Hammurabi to the successors of the great King Nebuchadnezzar II. This is the fascinating, demystifying, and rigorous chronicle of the cosmopolitan Babylon. The Middle East region the ancient Greeks, called Mesopotamia, now the current Iraq, was the spiritual and intellectual heart of the country of the Tigris and the Euphrates. The prestige of Babylon had no rival in the eyes of its contemporaries. For its inhabitants, the city was the center of the universe, which stood on its own in the civilized world. In the nerve center of this great city a challenging famous stepped tower rose, a Ziggurat universally known as the Tower of Babel. Brief History of Babylon reveals the true story of a city so intriguing and exciting as unknown, from its origins until its fall to the Persians in 539 BC. Descubra la verdadera historia del ðltimo imperio del Ã0/00ufrates y del Tigris: sus conquistas, su cultura y su decadencia, desde el carismàtico Hammurabi hasta los sucesores del gran rey Nabucodonosor II. Esta es la fascinante crÃ3nica, desmitificadora y rigurosa de la cosmopolita Babilonia. Babilonia fue el corazÃ3n espiritual e intelectual del paÃ-s del Tigris y del Ã0/00ufrates, la regiÃ3n de Oriente PrÃ3ximo que los antiguos griegos llamaron Mesopotamia (el actual Iraq). El prestigio de Babilonia no tuvo rival a los ojos de sus contemporàneos. Para sus habitantes la ciudad fue el centro del universo, que brillÃ3 con luz propia sobre el mundo civilizado. En el centro neuràlgico de esta gran urbe se levantÃ3 desafiante su cÃ(c)lebre torre escalonada, un zigurat universalmente conocido como la torre de Babel. Breve historia de Babilonia pretende desvelar al lector la verdadera historia de una ciudad tan fascinante y apasionante como desconocida, desde sus orÃ-genes hasta su caÃ-da ante los persas en el año 539 a.C. Para ello se desgranaràn los grandes logros de sus dos monarcas màs emblemàticos, Hammurabi, autor de los cÃ3digos legales màs antiguos que conocemos, y Nabucodonosor, el ðltimo gran rey babilÃ3nico que concluyÃ3 la construcciÃ3n de la torre de Babel y conquistÃ3 JerusalÃ(c)n.
