MARI, THE ORIGINS OF THE CITY

On the trail of History

An episode from the series THE SECRET OF THE STONES

Synopsis

Everything was supposed to be known about Mesopotamia's history until Mari's discovery 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.
