Building the Tower of Babel: Temples and the Gods in Ancient Mesopotamia
Of all the narratives about Mesopotamia in the Bible, the story of the tower of Babel is arguably the most famous. In addition to being a poignant moral lesson about the dangers of hubris and the limitations of humanity which continues to resonate across the ages, however, the story is also deeply rooted in the realities of the time and place in which it is set. In this lecture a group of artifacts from the Mesopotamian gallery, including a building inscription of Nebuchadnezzar II, the king widely thought to have been the architect who inspired the tower of Babel narrative, will be presented to illustrate the role of temple building in reducing the distance between humanity and the gods in ancient Iraq.
