Ancient Babylon

RE-UPLOADED AFTER ACCOUNT DELETION
My video of ancient Babylon.
Babylon was a city-state of ancient Mesopotamia, sometimes considered an empire, the remains of which can be found in present-day Al Hillah, Babil Province, Iraq, about 85 kilometers (55 mi) south of Baghdad. All that remains today of the ancient famed city of Babylon is a mound, or tell, of broken mud-brick buildings and debris in the fertile Mesopotamian plain between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, in Iraq. Historical resources inform us that Babylon was at first a small town, that had sprung up by the beginning of the third millennium BC (the dawn of the dynasties). The town flourished and attained prominence and political repute with the rise of the first Babylonian dynasty. It was the "holy city" of Babylonia by approximately 2300 BC, and the seat of the Neo-Babylonian Empire from 612 BC. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
The form Babylon is the Greek variant of Akkadian Babilu (bab-ilû, meaning "Gateway of the god(s)", translating Sumerian Ka.dingir.ra). In the Hebrew Bible, the name appears as ??? (Babel), interpreted by Book of Genesis 11:9 to mean "confusion" (of languages), from the verb balbal, "to confuse".

Ahh, the Hanging Gardens have always fascinated me!! I would love to see its grandeur properly recreated for a film.

Well done. The music went very well with the scenes. Thanks.

Woah, you have a lot of great Babylon pictures! I can never find very many! The music went very well!
Thanks for the information in the description! It's sad we don't have more remains of Babylon today. I loved seeing what the Hanging Gardens might've looked like.

Ah, this music is from Guild Wars Nightfall MMO. The game was somewhat modeled after Babylon and Mesopotamian culture.
