The Rise and Fall of Babylon

Synopsis

"Because of this, I have to begin with a warning. You will find, if you read further than this book on the subject, that although there is general agreement among experts, the devil is in the detail. Interpretation of events, when events took place, where they took place, transliteration of names, the identification of artefacts--all are subject to different opinions and ideas. A young and growing discipline, which has recently taken a very hard knock from an unnecessary war, Assyriology is an exciting field to be in; but it can be a confusing one." [Introduction]
