Abstract

In the Land of Mesopotamia 4,000 Years Ago
A tale of architects who take on a daunting task commissioned by King Hammurabi—

In the 18th century BCE, in ancient Mesopotamia. Hammurabi, king of Babylon, had unified the entire land. To secure the eternal prosperity of his state, he ordered the construction of a “tower reaching the sun”...

Gaga, a court architect born into a family of warriors, is tasked by King Hammurabi to seek out Nimrode, a rumored descendant of Noah and a genius architect, in the land of Dilmun.
If he fails to bring Nimrode back to the royal palace, an unrelenting punishment awaits—thus he sets off on his journey with grim resolve.

Set in Babylon, the city that flourished 4,000 years ago, this is a historical romance of genius architects confronting an unprecedented, near-impossible challenge.

A meticulously crafted, grand historical spectacle by a science-minded author with a background in architecture!
