A Tour of Babylon in 570 BC — Documentary History
#Babylon #AncientBabylon #570BC
In 570 BC, the largest and most powerful city on Earth sits on the banks of the Euphrates River in modern-day Iraq.
Its walls are wide enough for two chariots to race side by side along the top. Its gate is covered in bright blue glazed bricks and golden dragons that no other civilization on Earth can replicate. Its tower rises ninety meters into the sky the structure that will inspire the legend of the Tower of Babel. And every single brick in this city carries the stamped name of the king who built it.
This is Babylon. Not the myth. Not the metaphor. The real, functioning city at the absolute peak of its power.
