Episode description as stored
<p>Babylon was one of the greatest cities of the ancient world. But what was life really like for the people who lived there? Behind its magnificent temples and royal palaces lay a city of crowded streets, disease, danger and everyday struggles.</p> <p>Tristan Hughes is joined by friend of the show and Babylonian extraordinaire Professor Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones to uncover the realities of life in Hammurabi&#39;s Babylon. Drawing on the remarkable texts left behind by its people, they explore everything from marriage and childbirth to taverns, rubbish-filled streets and the strange demons believed to haunt the home. What did it mean to walk the streets of Mesopotamia&#39;s most famous ancient city?</p> <p><strong>MORE</strong></p><p><strong>The Fall of Babylon</strong></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000733329297" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/69B0mcxoPdDkHdb5lKsKGq?si=b7cdccceec614cd1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a></p> <p><strong>The Tower of Babel</strong></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000677916205" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple </a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/5tLy73zqIUfKz4omIz4ZvW?si=43120b8fa24541f0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify </a></p> <p>Presented by Tristan Hughes.
