    The amount of times I heard about Babylon without actually learning anything about Babylon is completely wild to me.

    For anyone curious:

    • The Babylonian empire was located between the rivers Euphrates and Tigris in today’s Iraq.
    • It looks they may have invented law.
    • Their writing looked quite spiky
    • The hanging gardens of Babylon probably never existed (despite being one of the 7 ancient world wonders)
    • Nebuchadnezzar was apparently one noteworthy ruler
    • mostly tho, the city of Babylon had nice architecture and was overall quite rich.

    Feel free to correct me on anything, and go as far into detail as you want.
