Join Andrew as we travel back nearly 4,000 years to the legendary city of Babylon, where art, law, and architecture came together to shape one of the world’s first great civilizations.
In this episode, we explore the Old Babylonian Period (c. 2000–1600 BCE)—an age of kings, gods, and grand ideas.
Discover how Hammurabi’s Code, inscribed on the towering Stele of Hammurabi, became both a masterpiece of political art and one of humanity’s earliest written laws.
We’ll also look at palace reliefs, glazed brick decorations, and talk about intricately carved cylinder seals that reveal Babylon’s creative brilliance and its belief in divine justice.
This was the world of Abraham and the patriarchs, where faith, art, and law intertwined to define civilization itself.
