According to Herodotus, Greek historian of the fifth century B.C., Babylon "exceeded in splendor any other city of the world known." She would have housed the mythical Tower of Babel, as well as the fabulous hanging gardens that ancient men considered one of the seven wonders of the world... It is to the discovery of this legendary city that we invite this very rich work, in the footsteps of the ancient hero of Jacques Martin. The fascinating life of Babylonian kings, like Nebuchodonosor, the architectural richness and intensity of religious life are traced under the brush of Jean-Marie Ruffieux with an impressive luxury of detail. Besides Babylon, the cities of Khorsabad, Nineveh and Assur are also at the summary of the album. A dive into time to enjoy without restraint.
