Land of the Fish-People: Babylon

#history #AncientBabylon #Nebuchadnezzar #Fish-People #Babylon
Ancient Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar II reached the height of its territorial and cultural dominance. Renowned the world over for its biblical history, its great monuments of the blue glazed Ishtar Gate and Ziggurat and of course its ancient world wonder, the hanging gardens. Through upheavals, wars, invading Assyrians and the odd religious person dressed up as a giant fish - ancient Babylon is a pretty interesting place to visit in this historical travel guide.
