Description
Civilization was born 8000 years ago, between the floodplains of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Migrants from the surrounding mountains and deserts began to create increasingly sophisticated societies. Paul Kriwaczek reveals the splendor that was Babylon, and in so doing he describes the beginning of civilization itself.
