Babylon
Historians describe the ancient city of Babylon as a beautiful place with green gardens, amazing architecture and busy marketplaces. About 3000 years ago, the city of Babylon was an impressive place. Today, this once great city lies in ruins next to the Euphrates River, about 85km south of the present-day city of Bagdad, Iraq.
Around 2000 BC, King Hammurabi created the empire of Babylonia and named the then small city of Babylon its centre. Under Hammurabi the Babylonian empire became very powerful and the city of Babylon became the largest city in the world at the time. King Hammurabi developed a code of written laws in the Babylonian language that everyone in Babylonia, rich or poor, had to follow.
The most famous king of Babylon was Nebuchadnezzar II. He made the city into one of the wonders of the ancient world. Nebuchadnezzar II achieved this through his amazing construction projects. For example, to improve the entrance of the city, he built the beautiful star Gates. These huge gates stood at the start of Processional Way, a wide street with statues of animals that led into the city The Ishtar Gates honoured the goddess Ishtarand had her symbol, the lion, on them. He also built various grand temples and made the imperial palace more luxurious. One of these grand temples was a pyramid-shaped temple that stood 91 metres high in the palace gardens and was the tallest building in Babylon. Many ancient writers called it the Tower of Babeltask and it was another architectural wonder of the city. The king also built another amazing place in Babylon. According to ancient writings, he constructed the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to honour his wife. Archaeologists have yet to find evidence of the existence of these mythical gardens that hung from a terraced building.
Besides the amazing architecture, life in the city of Babylon was great. There were busy markets that sold food, jewellery and clothing. Everyone lived inside the city and had comfortable homes. People celebrated various festivals and holidays in the many temples. The city enjoyed many years of greatness, until it eventually fell to the hands of the Persians in 539 BC.
