Summary

Babylon, often remembered through the lens of Old Testament narratives, emerges as a pivotal city that shaped global history for two millennia. Contrary to its portrayal solely as a symbol of exile and longing, Babylon's significance extends far beyond biblical accounts. This study challenges the notion of Babylon being merely an adjunct to Jewish history by delving into its multifaceted role in world history. Through historical analysis, it reveals Babylon's dynamic evolution, its cultural and political influence, and its enduring legacy as a center of civilization. The research approach combines archival evidence with literary sources, providing a comprehensive narrative that transcends traditional perspectives.
