James Wellard brings the lost civilisation of Babylonia vividly to life, drawing on archaeological discoveries and historical records to reconstruct a society of immense cultural and political sophistication. Written with the authority of a seasoned scholar and the storytelling flair of a gifted journalist, the narrative presents the city's towering ziggurat temples, its legendary hanging gardens, and the powerful kings who shaped its destiny. Wellard argues persuasively that Babylon's legacy — in law, astronomy, and religion — continues to reverberate through Western civilisation to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956362490075,"sku":"2026200008494-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2c526e8c-dad8-4a7d-8f86-41c4eb1eca5c.png?v=1783500235","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008494-secondhand-by-the-waters-of-babylon","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
