MARI, THE ORIGINS OF THE CITY (SD)

On the trail of History

An episode from the series THE SECRET OF THE STONES

Synopsis

Everything was supposed to be known about the history of Mesopotamia until the discovery of Mari in the last century.

Despite the ravages of time, it is the only site well preserved enough to allow a restitution of palace life during the reign of Hammurabi, the king of Babylon, more than 4,000 years ago.
