Второй день в Ираке начал с посещения Вавилона. Оригинальные ворота Иштар находятся в музее в Берлине; здесь осталась только копия.

One of my favourite pictures of the hashtag#ishtargate was the eighth gate to the inner city of hashtag#Babylon (in the area of hashtag#Hillah, hashtag#Babil Governorate, hashtag#iraq). Build in. 569 BC for King Nebuchadnezzar II, who besieged Jerusalem and took the jews to Babylon.

And if that reminds you of Babylon‘s famous #IshtarGate, you ... might be onto something here (e.g. thinking of Cyrus‘ capture of Babylon in 539 BC). 😉
