Episode description as stored
Babylon is one of the most famous cities and empires in human history. To many people, it conjures images of Hanging Gardens, the Tower of Babel, Nebuchadnezzar, and the exile of the Jewish people. But how much of this is historical fact, and how much of it is later mythology?
To get to the bottom of Babylon, Helen takes a trip in the time machine with our resident ancient historian, Professor Lloyd Lewellyn-Jones .
Helen asks Lloyd about his highly acclaimed new book, Babylon: The Mother of All Cities (2026) , and discuss the theology, law codes, great texts and daily life of the Bible's most famous – or infamous – city.
