Description

Babylon: Mesopotamia and the Birth of CivilizationCivilization was born eight thousand years ago, between the floodplains of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, when migrants from the surrounding mountains and deserts began to create increasingly sophisticated urban societies. In the cities that they built, half of human history took place. In Babylon, Paul Kriwaczek tells the story of Mesopotamia from the earliest settlements seven thousand years ago to the eclipse of Babylon in the sixth century BCE.

Civilization was born eight thousand years ago, between the floodplains of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, when migrants from the surrounding mountains and deserts began to create increasingly sophisticated urban societies. In the cities that they built, half of human history took place.

In Babylon, Paul Kriwaczek tells the story of Mesopotamia from the earliest settlements seven thousand years ago to the eclipse of Babylon in the sixth century BCE. Bringing the people of this land to life in vibrant detail, the author chronicles the rise and fall of power during this period and explores the political and social systems, as well as the technical and cultural innovations, which made this land extraordinary. At the heart of this book is the story of Babylon, which rose to prominence under the Amorite king Hammurabi from about 1800 BCE. Even as Babylon's fortunes waxed and waned, it never lost its allure as the ancient world's greatest city.

Engaging and compelling, Babylon reveals the splendor of the ancient world that laid the foundation for civilization itself.

True to size, good quality
Size: 3T, Color: White, Size: 3T, Color: White
Great quality sweatshirts. I bought white to tie dye. They held the dye really well! They are true to size, but a little bit longer than most shirts. They fit my kids really well. They have also held up well in the wash, no shrinking at all!

Durable and Warm
Size: 4T, Color: Orange
This is a great quality and my son says its really warm. Some hoodies can be a bit to thin, but this one was a little thicker and a great weight for those chilly days. I even applied some Cricut-cut HTV designs to the front and they worked really well on this fabric. It washes up great and has held up really well to my toddler's abuse!

Hoodie
Size: 5T, Color: Black
Love this hoodie. Great material! Color is a nice dark black and it's been washed quite a few times and the color is holding. It's not super light but it's not too heavy either just right for semi cold weather. Fits well!
