Descrição: Waerzeggers talks about the Babylonian Chronicles. In first millennium B.C. Babylonia, scribes compiled records of noteworthy events that happened in their own lifetimes and earlier in the past. The "Babylonian Chronicles" have aroused considerable interest among students of Babylonian history and ancient historiography alike. Even in their fragmentary state of preservation, these texts supply the master narrative for large tracts of Babylonian history, and their detached manner of reporting has struck modern readers as exceptional. The Chronicles are not, however, simply a database of facts objectively put together by anonymous list-makers of the past.
