No other place in the world has a more historical sound to its name as the ancient city of Babylon in Iraq.
After years of colonial looting coupled with the crazy dreams of Saddam Hussein, along with massive American destruction during the Iraq 2003 invasion, the legendary city of Babylon has almost vanished.
There´s not much left these days, but old relics are laying all over the area, unprotected.
Of all the world’s ancient cities, none can compete with the legendary ancient city of Babylon. This site is where one of the seven original seven wonders of the ancient world once is believed stood. It was known as “the hanging gardens of Babylon” and home to the Tower of Babel.
Today about nothing remains.
