Film: B for Babylon

  • November 08, 2015
  • 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
  • Oriental Institute, University of Chicago
Join us on the following Sunday afternoons to enjoy the best in documentary films on the ancient Near East at the Oriental Institute. Films begin at 2:00 p.m. and running times range from 30 to 50 minutes. Admission is free. Docents are in the galleries following each film.

A young Iraqi woman visits the Louvre to gather information on Babylonian artifacts, and through discussions with experts a picture emerges of a vibrant civilization and of the kings and scribes, families and businesspeople who composed it. Babylon’s image as both biblical “cursed city” and “exotic Orient” of Western imagination is presented, along with details of the city’s excavation during archaeology’s infancy.
