Palace overlooking Babylon

This is a view of the disnified ruins of ancient Babylon, with one of Saddam's palaces overlooking in the background. Not only did Saddam have the palace built, but he had the massive hill built so his palace could overlook his kingdom. You may note that some of the "ruins" look to be in pretty good shape. They ought to be, Saddam had much of the ruins "rebuilt."
