Babylon Unfallen Richard John Letters

The book attempts to establish the dimensions of the great ziggurat or stepped pyramid in Babylon (the Tower of Babel) and Baal's temple on its top. The dimensions of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon are also reconstructed on the hypothesis they were built on the ruins of the Tower of Babel. As visualising from measurements alone is not easy, computer 3D printing was used to make 1/200 scale models and photographic illustrations of these models are included.
