Part 11/12:
Historical records reveal that Babylon was home to some of the earliest scholars—mathematicians, astronomers, and writers—who devised systems of law, trade, and record-keeping that laid the groundwork for civilization.

The city’s walls, temples, and aqueducts symbolize human ingenuity in transforming hostile environments into centers of civilization—a testament to the potential of human effort and the pursuit of progress.
