		Such a supposition would accord with the prominence acquired by the moon in the calendar and in astrological calculations, as well as with the fact that the moon-cult belongs to the nomadic and therefore earlier, stage of civilization, whereas the sun-god rises to full importance only after the agricultural stage has been reached.
		The two chief centres of sun-worship in Babylonia were Sippara (Sippar), represented by the mounds at Abu Habba, and Larsa, represented by the modern Senkerah.
		Of the two temples, that at Sippara was the more famous, but temples to Shamash were erected in all large centres - such as Babylon, Ur, Nippur and Nineveh.

	Geography of Babylonia and Assyria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eastward rose the mountains of Elam, southward were the sea-marshes and the Kaldy or Chaldaeans and other Aramaic tribes, while on the west the civilization of Babylonia encroached beyond the banks of the Euphrates, upon the territory of the Semitic nomads (or Suti).
		The Arakhtu, or "river of Babylon," flowed past the southern side of the city, and to the south-west of it on the Arabian bank lay the great inland freshwater sea of Najaf, surrounded by red sandstone cliffs of considerable height, 40 miles in length and 35 in breadth in the widest part.
		After the Kassite conquest of the country, northern Babylonia came to be known as Kar-Duniyas, "the wall of the god Duniyas," from a line of fortification similar to that built by Nebuchadrezzar between Sippara and Opis, so as to defend his kingdom from attacks from the north.

		The reason why Xisuthrus deposited his history at Sippara was because he was obedient to "Kronus", who in this context must be a Hellenised version of a Babylonian god who is in turn a pagan corruption of the One True God.
		The command to recover the history also ensured that the survivors who emerged from the Ark would go back to their former home, after the Flood, which is in any case a natural thing to do.
		Having identified Babylon, or more specifically Sippara, as the place where the Flood survivors were to go to find out about themselves, their history, and the prophetic statements about their future, we will now see what the Bible says about the continuing history and end-time significance of Babylon.

		A portion of Xisuthros' ship, which finally went aground in Armenia, is still found in the Gordyæan Mountains in Armenia, and pilgrims bring away asphaltum which they have scraped from the fragments; they use it against witchcraft.

		In the Puranic version of the universal flood story, shortly before the deluge was unleashed, the fish god Vishnu warned his human protégé that he 'should conceal the Sacred Scriptures in a safe place' to preserve the knowledge of the antediluvian races from destruction.
		Likewise, in Mesopotamia, the Noah figure Utnapishtim was instructed by the god Ea 'to take the beginning, the middle and the end of whatever was consigned to writing and then to bury it in the City of the Sun at Sippara'.
		After the waters of the flood had gone, survivors were instructed to make their way to the site of the City of the Sun 'to search for the writings', which would be found to contain knowledge of benefit to future generations of mankind.
