This is just a question: And if one has the information, and easy
question to answer. Exactly which of the many Greek texts was the
translation in question based upon? This information should be in the
first few pages of the book. I do not have a copy of the translation.

Occupation forces might have to pay compensation for damage to Babylon [it's in the Bible]

It was one of the seven wonders of the world, but ancient Babylon attracts more insurgents
than tourists these days, with the nearby modern city of Hillah achieving notoriety
as the scene of the recent bombing in which 127 people died.

Last month, relatives wailed and beat their chests as they read the lists of dead and injured
posted up on hospital walls.

Corpses were loaded into trucks by relatives to be taken away for burial, and pools of blood
congealed in the marketplace where a car bomb exploded on February 28.

“I wonder how a city like Babylon could have become a den of terror, when it used to be visited
by scientists and educated people from all over the world,”
said Fayyadh Weleed, 22, from the village of Jumjuma near the archeological site of Babylon.

Hillah is the heir to Babylon, with many of its buildings made out of bricks taken from the
great palace of Nebuchadnezzar.

The ancient city, famed for its immense, fortified walls and the magnificence of its buildings,
was at the centre of Mesopotamia, the land regarded as the cradle of Middle Eastern
and European civilisation.

But as it lay deserted for two millennia, many believed it was no more than a Biblical myth,
a metaphor for wealth and power until its extensive remains were discovered in the 19th century.

The lawlessness seen in Babil – or Babylon – province in recent days contrasts with the reign of
King Hammurabi, living in the 18th century BC, who introduced the world's first code of law.

By the time Nebuchadnezzar II ruled around 600 BC, the city had become "the glory of kingdoms".

It was he who is thought to have built the famous Hanging Gardens, one of the seven wonders
of the world, as a gift for his wife Amyitis.

But within half a century, Babylon was to lose much of its political power, after a two-year siege
and an invasion by the Persians.

In subsequent centuries
