The Kings: From Babylon to Baghdad (Part 9)

The region now known as Iraq has always been, in many ways, world history's ground zero. From this rich territory sprang the earliest cities and empires, earliest armies, and earliest tyrants. THE KINGS: FROM BABYLON TO BAGHDAD tells the story of Iraq through the history of its rulers, from Sargon the Great to Saddam Hussein. Maintaining THE HISTORY CHANNEL® standard for comprehensiveness and entertainment, this feature-length documentary explores the connections and relevance between ancient and modern Iraq and between Iraq and the rest of the planet.
