rad 2 to seven places, base what?

They calculated radical two to seven places, but are those decimal places, or base-60 places? 7 places in their own base-60 system is way more impressive. Any information on this? B.Mearns^*, KSC 20:14, 19 May 2006 (UTC) Babylonia was one of the richest citys in the world. it had several of temples such as the Temple of Adad and the Temple of Ishtar. Today we see it as heaps of vairtery of big mounds because it was fallen.

Neo babylonians

The "Neo" Babylonians was also called the Chaldean era or dynasty. I have made this important change

Babylon

Lots of the content here actually belongs in Babylon and vice versa; someone with some free time in their hands could revise the two articles together and think more carefully about what should be in each one. --LaloMartins 04:27, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Natural resources

Mesopotamia (especially southern Mesopotamia) was very poor in natural resources such as gold, silver, lead, timber, iron, lapis lazuli, etc. Virtually everything had to be imported. And so, I took out a previous statement claiming that Mesopotamia was rich in natural resources (see edit history).

hello

Unwelcome political bias.

Re: "Why rich history of this ancient culture has been mostly destroyed by invading armies with no respect for the history and artifacts it contained before they blew it to kingdom come with shock and awe."

This is politically biased anti-American nonsense. Most Babylonian history was lost prior to either Gulf War and that certainly includes the Hanging Gardens. Not wishing to get into political debate Historical articles should be kept clear of politically motivated bias.

That is probably Graffiti (vandelization). Someone did the same to the first sentence. I'll fix it but I believe the page need to be watched out for frequent vandel's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.176.158.215 (talk) 22:37, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

The first civilisation

Removed a statement claiming that Babylon was "the first ever effective civilisation", as Egyptian civilisation was already extant since 3100 BCE.

People and language

I know that the city of Babylon was highly cosmopolitan and multicultural, but who were the native peoples of Babylonia? What was the official language? I know there were a lot of Persian Jews? What were the rest? Persians? Medes? Assyrians? Greeks? Egyptians?

Was the common tongue of the region perhaps Syriac, Aramaic or Akkadian?
