Babylon: Cradle of Civilization

This book looks into Babylon's genesis taking us back to the third millennium BCE when the Akkadian Empire, under the rule of Sargon the Great, laid the foundation for the city-state. Sargon, a charismatic and ambitious leader, sought to consolidate his dominion over the fertile lands between the twin rivers. In this political tapestry, a settlement known as Eridu would play a pivotal role.
