Unprotected by naturalbarrier at the mercy of unpredictable rivers, the region endured and profited from legionof invaders and migrants whose blood mingles with that today Iraq. Babylon had beenthe capital more than a thousand years when it was shacked by the Assyrians in 689B.C., under Nebuchadnezza, it rose phoenix-like to become the greatest city in theworld.
