The Babylonian King Hammurabi: A Historical Biography

From the exclusive creativity and documentation translations, the Arabic translation of Professor Mark van de Mieroop's book Hammurabi the Babylonian King: A Historical Biography: This is the book in which he records a historical biography of the Babylonian King Hammurabi, that unique personality in his genius, who was able with unparalleled uniqueness to change the reality of his country to build a state whose name has been immortalized in history with glowing letters. He can be considered the most important figure during the second millennium BC in Mesopotamia. This king ascended the throne of a small kingdom, surrounded by many regional and international political powers. Even before his rise, Babylon was not among the major powers, but Hammurabi - with his brilliant genius - was able to enter a turbulent sea of successive and conflicting waves of competing political forces, and emerged stronger than he was, transforming his small subordinate state into a major dominant kingdom. He was able to defeat major powers and incorporate them into his kingdom, making the city of Babylon a great state that remained a source of admiration for many years through subsequent centuries.
