A ton of information out there. More than is practical to bring here. But just thought it fascinating to learn about the Hanging Gardens of Bavel that Nevuchadnezzar constructed-- one of the seven wonders of the world.
I think it would really enrich the various נבואות , particularly those of ישעיה, the more you understand just how magnificent מלכות בבל was.
Also, many Gemarot and Midrashim regarding Bavel make more sense when learning about it. One for example, the lack of any stones in bavel-- literally. Everything is made from mud.
See this youtube clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i5uRoWT6w0
Was wondering if the Garden had anything to do with the account in Daniel 4:26...
Strange also that supposedly Nevudchadnezzar built the Gardens for his wife from Media מדי -- the very same kingdom that ultimately was Bavel's downfall.... and you thought your in-laws were bad!
Once we're on the subject, for those who can view KMZ files (i.e. have Google Earth), here's one opinion of the remains of the Migdal Bavel http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=845863&site_id=1#import
