Focusing on the adventurous endeavors of American scholars from the 1880s to the 1920s, the narrative unfolds around a twelve-year archaeological dig at Nippur, near Biblical Babylon. Funded by the Babylonian Exploration Fund, these pioneers unearthed thousands of cuneiform tablets while contending with harsh conditions and internal academic rivalries. Their quest for historical truth challenged personal beliefs and paralleled the evolution of American universities, highlighting the impact of religious-secular tensions on Western scholarship's engagement with other cultures.
