- Summary
- Babylon: The Great City' is a richly illustrated advanced introduction to and study of the German and Iraqi excavations in Babylon. The excavated inscriptional materials have been used in the interpretation of the evidence. The book is based on many years of study of the finds and of the documentation from the excavations along with repeated inspections of all the visible ruins in Babylon. A digital model of the city and integrated GIS work have been used to analyse and test the interpretations as well as support the understanding of the site. The modern history of the site is discussed including the modern reconstructions. The book could be used both as a modern scholarly study of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and as an advanced guidebook for serious visitors to Babylon itself.
