Babylon: Religion and politics in the British Museum

As we can see from the title of the London exhibition not all we know about this region is solid. By taking some of the familiar elements, and looking at what we think we know about Babylon, such as the Tower of Babel and stories surrounding Nebudchanezzar, this report aims to question whether it possible to narrate an honest account without rendering quiet the voices all the people who have contributed to the building of the world we live in whilst at the same time appreciating that what we are doing is a merely another (re)construction.
