Another old drawing from the 70’s. A view imagined from Anglezarke Moor. Reinterpreting Biblical imagery has always interested me.

Babylon Zero is in the future, it’s a new world, a new way of thinking. / People come first in babylon zero, from the day you are born to the day you die. / There is a better understanding of all cultures and children learn life skills from a very early age. / New laws are made by the people for the people. / / Babylone zero

“Pazuzu, Lord of Fevers and Plagues, Dark Angel of the Four Winds with rotting genitals from which he howls through sharpened teeth over stricken cities….” William S. Burroughs, “Cities of the Red Night” The Demon of the South-West Wind, from the ancient Assyrian and Babylonian deserts (ie. what is now Iraq). Made famous as the possessive spirit in “The Exorcist” novel and films, and also in artwork and media for the band Gorillaz. My graphic is based on the bronze figure on display in the Louvre. I guess you could say it’s my political statement on Iraq, post-2003. You can find out more about the real Pazuzu here

This work by Charles LeBrun was created in about 1664 and is housed in the Louvre in Paris. The artist attempted to capture the high watermark of the career of the great conqueror, the occupation of the capital of the ancient Persian Empire. Charles le Brun was born in 1619 and died in 1690 in Paris.

The Vinardian reseach vessal “Brimoka” while taking visuals of the comet ” Ra’nak” was pulled into a space anomaly and after what seemed like months but really was just a few seconds was transported to the ” Quasar Galaxy” and into close proximity with the “Great Fire Nebula”. / The galaxy and nebula had until this event only been viewed though very powerfull telescopes. / But the greatest discovery was the deep space station “Babylon 2”. / Babylon 2 disappeared from its stationary orbit around Saturn at the time of the “Great Upheaval” of 3452 AA. At that time there was a number of “disruptions” in the space/time continuumn, whole planets were lost. / We could also mention here that the “Kraken” battle fleet, composing of some 3500 ships was “lost” at this time. / The “Brimoka” was able to chart the anomaly and so return to the Milky Way galaxy. / On Babylon 2 after a few months it was obvious they were here to stay, it was business as usual. ( Their story is a great read )They were lucky that 16 Alliance starships were pulled in with them, and a whole new section of the “Quasar Galaxy” was there to explore, many new alliances were formed with the many races living within the galaxy and nebula. Many great vids were made about the re-discovery.

Behind which stood the magnificent Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, incredible, ancient Babylon and it’s Empire…where do I start? The image represents The Ishtar Gate that led into the city of Babylon, sitting on the banks of the river Euphrates, the name Babylon meaning “Gate of the Gods”. This grand entrance was decorated with brilliant blue tiles and figures of dragons and bulls. Beyond the gate, The Processional Way led to the city centre and the ziggurat temple dedicated to their chief god Marduk. Babylon has 2 eras, that of King Hammurabi, who wrote some laws on a stone pillar known as Hammurabi’s Stela around 1740BC, during this time it was capital of Mesopotamia and a centre of learning but after hundreds of years of invasions by Kassites, Chaldeans and Assyrians, Babylon was in ruins…it was not until the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar around 620BC that Babylon found it’s feet again to rise up and become the greatest city in the world. During this time the city of Jerulasalem was attacked and the kingdom of Judea defeated by the Babylonian army, who took them captive back into the city they now loathed, Babylon. Babylonian boys went to school and often learnt astronomy, literature and mathematics, like the Sumerians before them they based their units on 60, which is where we get our 60 minutes and 360 degree circles, they studied the stars and made early detailed records of the stars and planets. The Hanging Gardens were built by King Nebuchanezzar for his wife Amytis who missed the green hills of her homeland Media. The palace was called ‘the Marvel of Mankind’ and built around 5 courtyards with the terraces overflowing with the exotic gardens, a marvellous sight to behold indeed. Gods and Goddesses dominated the city with the dragons representing the god Adad and the bulls representing Marduk with the Ishtar Gate named after the greatest Goddess of all to the Babylonians. In 539 Cyrus, King of neighbouring Persia overthrew the Chaldean Kings and took over Babylon, he released the captive Jews who had been taken there 60 years prior, created the immense Persian Empire there and then proceeded to take on the rest of the world… This is created from an Incendia fractal, representing the Ishtar Gate at Babylon. I have added another layer which if you look closely is a map and images of the Babylonian Empire with Babylon sitting up the top right on the green ‘Euphrates River’...Babylon was the enemy of the Jews and a place seen as a ‘hell on Earth’ so the background represents this as flames often associated with the sacrifices made for the Marduk, the God of the city. I hope you enjoyed this combination of art and history, I have many more too in My Profile. You can even catch BONEY M singing Rivers of Babylon Live here on YouTube

The light of the sunset adds a golden glow to the western facade of Saddam’s palace at Babylon. I took this image with my very first digital camera, a Sony CyberShot DSC-P71. I regret the low resolution but I was running out of space on my memory stick and I was a long way from anywhere to dump it to a computer. 1/200 sec at f/5.6 © R. Mike Jacobson – All Rights reserved

The ruins of ancient Babylon. Looking closely will see that the upper layers appear to be newer. Saddam was in the process of trying to re-build Babylon to its original splendor – to the dismay of archeologists who felt that he was adversely impacting the archeological value of the ruins.
