Babylon, a Journey to the Cradle of Civilization • Babylon - The Epic of a Legendary City • In the arms of history, lulled by the legends of glorious kings and visionary builders, flourished Babylon. Under the reign of Hammurabi, its foundations were solid, promising a grandiose empire. Brought to life in all its glory by the expert hands of Nebuchadnezzar, it defied time with its architectural marvels. • Like a coveted jewel, Babylon aroused the envy of conquerors. Cyrus, with an iron will, fell in love with this city in the heart of Mesopotamia, tearing it away from an established destiny to write a new chapter, between glory and decadence. • In the shadow of the majestic ziggurats, and among the shimmering veils of the past, Babylon shone with a thousand lights, but also bore within it the scars of its past tumults. Between desire and depreciation, it rose proudly, symbol of an era when humanity shaped its destiny, leaving a timeless imprint in the wake of history. • Dear explorers, hello and welcome to the ancient kingdom of Babylon, a place steeped in mystery, splendor and an extraordinary history that has captivated humanity for millennia. Through the mists of time, let's set off together on a fascinating journey where the past comes to life before our eyes, revealing the secrets of this legendary city. • Imagine walking in the shadows of the proud ziggurats, exploring the vast Hanging Gardens, once considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Thrill with excitement as you discover the famous, ornate Ishtar Gate, which marked the entrance to Babylon and welcomed travelers from distant lands. Bustling streets, filled with sounds, colors and exotic scents, vibrate under your feet, transporting you to a bygone era when commerce and culture flourished. • The name of this Mesopotamian city also evokes in the collective memory a biblical legend as captivating as it is mysterious: the Tower of Babel. Over the centuries, this story has transcended cultural boundaries, insinuating itself into sacred narratives around the world. In the annals of the Old Testament, the story of the Tower of Babel emerges like a beacon, illuminating the very essence of Babylon. • According to the biblical account, at a time when all mankind spoke one language, the people of Babylon decided to erect a tower that would reach the heavens themselves, a colossal edifice testifying to their power and unity. They longed to touch the stars, to go beyond the limits of their human condition. However, this act of audacity and pride aroused divine wrath. • In their desire to defy the divine, a confusion of tongues was inflicted upon the people of Babylon, dooming them to mutual incomprehension. Thus, communication broke down, shattering the harmony and unity they had once shared. The Tower of Babel, witness to this excessive ambition, became the symbol of a humanity in search of greatness, but also of the fragility of its enterprises in the face of celestial designs. • Beyond the religious story, this legend reveals universal truths. She embodies man's timeless thirst for transcendence and the relentless quest to understand the world around him. The Tower of Babel, in its resounding failure, reminds us that our history is woven of triumphs and defeats, dreams come true and aspirations shattered. • Throughout our journey in ancient Babylon, the Tower of Babel will be an enigma that will accompany us, symbolizing the greatness and fragility of humanity in its perpetual quest for elevation and fulfillment. • ------------------------------------------------------- • CHAPTERS • 00:00 - Babylon, the Epic of a Legendary City • 03:55 - Land between two rivers • 09:29 - The Code of Hammurabi • 15:09 - Nebuchadnezzar, the legendary king • 20:32 - The city at the gates of the Gods • 330:15 - Babylon, brilliant home of knowledge and culture • 34:25 - Babylon and New Jerusalem • 39:33 - The Tower of Babel • 54:30 - The double fall of Babylon
