The main gate for the city of Babylon. On it's original location, but not the original building. The Germans took the original to Berlin in the 1930's, where it is exposed nowadays in a museum. In 2350 before Christ, Babylon already existed. It was a small town then. Nebuchadnezzar (605 - 563 before Chr.) rebuilt the city. In that shape great parts where excavated. |
