The city of Babylon, founded in Mesopotamia some 5,000 years ago, disappeared 2,000 years later and was rediscovered at the turn of the 20th century by a team of German archaeologists. Babylon has inspired a whole range of authors and artists, from Herodotus to Delacroix and Degas. This film sets out on the trail of the fabled city in the company of Salam Jawad, a Paris-based Iraqi iconographer, as she visits the Louvre and Berlin in search of illustrations of Babylon for an online encyclopedia.
