Spanning some 1800 years in the history of the Babylonians, from the time of Hammurabi, famous for his Law-Code, to the time when Alexander's heirs ruled the Near East, Leick examines how archaeological discoveries and cuneiform tablets recovered from Babylonian cities allow us an impression of the Babylonian people and their society, their intellectual and spiritual preoccupations.Exploring the lives of kings and merchants, women and sl 410 0$aPeoples of the Ancient World 606 $aCivilization Assyro-Babylonian 606 $aCivilization, Assyro-Babylonian 606 $aRegions & Countries - Asia & the Middle East$2HILCC 606 $aMiddle East$2HILCC 606 $aHistory & Archaeology$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aCivilization Assyro-Babylonian. 615 4$aCivilization, Assyro-Babylonian. 615 7$aRegions & Countries - Asia & the Middle East 615 7$aMiddle East 615 7$aHistory & Archaeology 676 $a935 700 $aLeick$b Gwendolyn$f1951-$0651563 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450956403321 996 $aThe Babylonians$92225880 997 $aUNINA
