BABYLONIANS
Why were the "Hanging Gardens of Babylon" labeled a wonder of the ancient world? According to tradition, Nebuchadrezzer ordered them built, but why? What role did he play in Babylon's history? What about his famous predecessor, Hammurabi - the ruler responsible for one of the world's oldest law codes? And, Babylon's great ziggurat - what was it and why was it dedicated to Marduk? You'll find the answers to these questions and many more about the Babylonians who lived and ruled the area around the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in this issue of CALLIOPE. See you then!
