Document Details : Title: On the Authenticity of the Tower of Babel Stele Author(s): GEORGE, Andrew Journal: Bibliotheca Orientalis Volume: 81 Issue: 1-2 Date: 2024 Pages: 7-19 DOI: 10.2143/BIOR.81.1.3293875 Abstract : In two articles in this journal, Stephanie Dalley has raised doubts about the authenticity of a black stone monument of king Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon, commonly known as the Tower of Babel stele. This article tests her reasons for considering the stele to be a fake against the epigraphic and iconographic evidence and concludes that it is genuine. |
