Ancient Babylon - the magnificent capital of the early human empire

In March 1899, a group of German archaeologists carried out large-scale archaeological excavations for more than 10 years on the banks of the Euphrates River, more than 50 kilometers south of Baghdad today, and finally found the ruins of the ancient city of Babylon, which had been missing for more than 2000 years and rebuilt by Nebuchadnezzar II in 605 BC.
