Check the last city here....I googled "Babylon, Iraq population'....and other things on the city, and one archaeological site wrote that many archaeologists urged Sadam to not build and grow modern Babylon directly over many of the old ruins....but he did it anyway. I saw a news item about their new Mayor!.....JW's used to say this could never ever happen. Is this indeed basically the same city?....only 90 miles south of Baghdad?...................oompa
