Ancient Babylonia (1913)

Claude Hermann Walter Johns

Ancient Babylonia is a historical book written by Claude Hermann Walter Johns in 1913. The book provides a comprehensive description of the ancient civilization of Babylonia, which was located in Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq) and flourished between the 18th and 6th centuries BCE. The author explores the political, social, and cultural aspects of Babylonia, including its religion, art, architecture, and literature. He also discusses the significant contributions of the Babylonians to mathematics, astronomy, and astrology. Johns examines the Babylonian language and script, which were among the earliest forms of writing in the world, and provides a detailed analysis of the famous Code of Hammurabi, one of the earliest known legal codes in history. The book is well-researched and provides a fascinating insight into the ancient civilization of Babylonia, its achievements, and its legacy. It is an essential read for anyone interested in ancient history or the history of the Middle East.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
