Babylon….. Comments

A stupendous write on an ancient civilization (10) . I am not much into history and, therefore, not in a position to contest the facts you have enumerated in your tribute (like the achievements in mathematics and astronomy) . The time I was physically closest to this historic place was in August 1990. I was then a POW of Saddam Hussein in a camp on the banks of the famous Euphrates when my fate hung upside down like the famous Hanging Gardens now in ruin. It was days of disastrous privations to the captives as well as the captors. Humankind is habitually bound to mar their own past although they don't lose any opportunity to gloat over efforts at conservation.

Read and knew the history of Babylon so nicely and vividly drafted. Stunning expession. Well presentation.Thanks for sharing. .....10
