Learning from Babylon means appreciating diversity. This is a key message of this book. Babylon is the city of the mighty tower, of science and myths. The city on the Euphrates is also well-known for its many biblical texts. In this book, historical reality, biblical accounts, and ancient myths are woven together into a comprehensive picture. The fractures remain visible, much like a broken cuneiform tablet. Nevertheless, it creates the image of an impressive metropolis with remarkable resilience.
