	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Babylonia
		This northern neighbour and colony of Babylon remained to the last of the same race and language and of almost the same religion and civilization as that of the country from which it emigrated.
		East of the Euphrates, the southernmost town was Larsa, the Biblical Ellasar (Genesis 14; in Vulg.
		His boast was the vast building operations which made Babylon a city (for those days) impregnable, which adorned the capital with palaces, and the famous "procession road", and Gate of Ishtar, and which restored and beautifies a great number of temples in different towns of Babylonia.

	Constant Nieuwenhuis: New Babylon
		Of a New Babylon where, under one roof, with the aid of moveable elements, a shared residence is built; a temporary, constantly remodeled living area; a camp for nomads on a planetary scale.
		There are, of course, exceptions to the rule: certain relations between towns enable a small number of individuals to change their place of residence, and in so doing trigger a process of acculturation in which the town acquires, aside from its utilitarian function, the function of a cultural center.
		The New Babylonian community comprises the totality of the inhabitants of New Babylon, and it is their simultaneous activity that creates the new collective culture.

		In addition to the many farms that were established in remote as well as central portions of the town, the town included a school, a church, flour mills, saw mills, brickyards, tanneries, a town dock and a fort.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Babel
		According to Herodotus, a double or perhaps a triple wall, 50 cubits in width and 200 cubits in height, surrounded the town, forming a square of 120 stadia.
		In the light of these discoveries the story of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:4) assumes a new importance, whether we identify its remains with the runes of Birs Nimrud or with those of the Bel temple at Nippur, or again with those of Babil.
		No doubt, it was its temples not less than its royal palaces and its hanging gardens that rendered the city of Babylon "glorious among kingdoms, the famous pride of the Chaldeans" (Isaiah 13:19).

	Town of Babylon (Vehicle Fleet Management)
		The Town of Babylon provides numerous services to Town residents, including: refuse disposal, highway maintenance, parks and recreation, building and planning, code enforcement, street lighting, animal control, assessment, health services, etc. All of these services are at least partially dependent upon the Town’s fleet of approximately 325 cars and trucks.
		The Town does not have a comprehensive plan for the replacement of Town owned vehicles and does not have adequate records to determine when a vehicle is incurring excessive maintenance and repair costs and the best time to replace it.
		The Town needs adequate records and a vehicle replacement plan, since at the end of September 2002, 92 of the 289 vehicles with odometers had been driven more than 100,000 miles and some of them may need to be replaced soon.

		We had been announcing on this website the plans of the Town of Babylon to attain legislation from the state authorizing it to create a “community court” with which it would violate the due process rights of its property owners and give Babylon control over the judges.

	Ancient History Sourcebook: Greek Reports of Babylonia, Chaldea, and Assyria
		All these works were on that side of Babylon where the passes lay, and the roads into Media were the straightest, and the aim of the queen in making them was to prevent the Medes from holding intercourse with the Babylonians, and so to keep them in ignorance of her affairs.
		She gave orders for the hewing of immense blocks of stone, and when they were ready and the basin was excavated, she turned the entire stream of the Euphrates into the cutting, and thus for a time, while the basin was filling, the natural channel of the river was left dry.
		When they reach Babylon, the cargo is landed and offered for sale; after which the men break up their boats, sell the straw and the frames, and loading their asses with the skins, set off on their way back to Armenia.
