The assyrians’ forced exile of the israelites was not the only time such a fate had befallen them, as made clear by babylonian accounts and the biblical account of the exodus out of egypt, but it was that exile that permanently scattered most of the legendary 12 tribes of israel, and the fate of the 10 lost tribes has interested people ever since. Some of the intriguing questions you will explore include: •Who lived in babylonia before the babylonians? And who were the babylonians? •How did hammurabi's law code influence today’s legal systems? •Why did the babylonians study the earth’s rotation using mathematical models? •Did the babylonians really use the pythagorean theorem before pythagoras? •How did babylon become a holy city and pilgrimage destination? •Who joined the babylonians’ massive coalition army against assyria? •Was the etemenanki ziggurat the tower of babel?

Years later, dark prophetic dreams inextricably link him with a young man carrying scars from a painful past, and a young woman who longs for acceptance yet harbor secrets darker than either of them imagine.
