Beneath a patch of stony, desert ground on the River Euphrates, surrounded by date palms, many of the secrets of the cradle of civilisation are still
waiting to be uncovered.
But the site of ancient Babylon in Iraq - with its legendary hanging gardens and the Tower of Babel reaching to the sky - has suffered under Saddam
Hussein's rule and years of conflict.
We have many important historical sites here, but still only a quarter of the area has been excavated

I think the Oil was just a sweetner. Ancient Babylon must hold some real significance to these elite.
Very interesting....and io wonder what they will find when excavating starts? Will we see this all in a Museum or not?
Peace.
