With our exquisite architecture, grand schools, bustling marketplaces, new technologies, fertile farmland, and relative security, Babylonia is the perfect for place all people, regardless of their backgrounds. Since Nebuchadnezzar II took the throne in 634 B.C.E, Babylonia has gone from a small civilization on the Tigris and Euphrates to an empire that expands over all of Mesopotamia (“Babylonia, a History of Ancient Babylon). Because of this, Babylonia has become a melting pot of its conquered civilizations, including Assyria and Judah (“Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon”). With so many different ideas being exchanged, we truly best of the best among our ranks, and our exquisite architecture reflects it. You don’t see any other civilization with ziggurats and protective walls that practically reach the sky, or gardens hundreds of feet in the air (“Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon”).

For the merchant or casual shopper alike, coming to Babylonia presents almost limitless possibilities. Before King Nebuchadnezzar took power, a merchant would primarily trade with Anatolia, Syria, and Palestine (Gill). Now however, with our road systems and monopoly on trade routes, merchants from distant countries can safely travel through Babylonia and exchange goods at our markets (Mark). When you move to Babylonia, you can look forward to both undamaged, high quality goods for sale, and a crowd of foreign merchants looking to buy your own goods and crops. That commerce makes Babylonia’s economy a flourishing one, which benefits people of everyone within our boundaries—noble and peasant
...e markets of Athens. Economically, Athens becomes the clearinghouse of Hellas, attracting artisans and merchants of all kinds, and fostering business of all descriptions to flourish. This translates into the power to dictate to the suppliers of commodities within the trading network. Where at first it is simply Athenian military might that must be obeyed, now her economic might can be felt as well across the seas, dictating what may be produced and to whom it is sold, at what price and in what quantity.
“The Hills Like White Elephants” and “Babylon Revisited” are two different stories but still have many similarities. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Babylon Revisited is a story that is very similar to what he himself went through in his life.

When drastic times occur and sweep one of everything they own, do they have a plan of action? Will they be prepared for a life without power, resources, and stability? Many times when people are faced with this situation they find themselves unprepared and unable to live in such conditions. They lose the connections with the world, the water they drink is likely to get contaminated, and the scarcity of goods is a threat to themselves and anyone left alive. Everywhere around them there is death and destruction leaving them isolated in their own dystopia. Pat Frank’s Alas, Babylon illustrates a nuclear bomb simulation. In such a way, he gives the readers a taste of isolation and survival needs when facing such drastic times. So the question is: how does one survive in the isolation left behind from a nuclear war?
In the book Alas, Babylon, the author, Pat Frank, discusses the condition of the human race. Mainly, his view differs from others because rather than write about the countries in a nuclear war, he writes about people living in the countries that are involved in that war. His discusses these peoples’ progress, both technological and moral, as well as their use of power. These topics make the book as intriguing as it is to read.
"He would come back some day; they couldn’t make him pay forever. But he wanted his child, and nothing was much good now, beside that fact. He wasn’t young any more, with a lot of nice thoughts and dreams to have by himself. He was absolutely sure Helen wouldn’t have wanted him to be so alone."

The Ishtar Gate to the city of Babylon stood as a testament to the aim of King Nebuchadnezzar II to rebuild the ancient city of Babylon as the most grandiose and magnificent of the ancient world’s cities. Citizens of the neo-babylonian empire were the first to bear witness to its grandeur and were likely the best equipped to appreciate the aesthetics contributing to its religious meaning. Given that it was a main entrance to the central capital of Babylon, the gate could have been seen by citizens of different social classes and levels of education, and in turn may have conveyed different meanings to different classes of citizens.
