In an age when the heavens were seen as the voice of the divine and numbers held the keys to fate, a civilization rose that would forever shape our understanding of time, power, and destiny. The Babylon Code takes readers deep into the intellectual and mystical heart of ancient Mesopotamia-into the enigmatic Shimtu Tablets.
Drawing from archaeology, astronomy, and ancient theology, Layla Abbas reveals how the Babylonians used their sexagesimal (base-60) number system not only to chart the skies with astonishing accuracy, but to encode a worldview where mathematics, divination, and cosmic order were inseparable. The Shimtu Tablets were not just tools-they were instruments of prophecy, used to interpret omens, guide rulers, and glimpse the will of the gods.
Combining scholarly insight with vivid storytelling, The Babylon Code uncovers the roots of a numerical language that still echoes in how we measure time and space today. With every page, Abbas challenges us to rethink what we know about science, mysticism, and humanity's timeless quest to understand the universe.
This is a book for seekers of ancient wisdom, lovers of history, and anyone who senses that numbers may hold more than just quantity-they may hold meaning.
