点评:Ancient Greek style amphitheater located in Archaeological Site of Babil, Iraq. Entrance ticket is 25000 IQD for all historical sites in Babil. We started with the theatre. It has many columns, Royal Dining Table and small garden. Crossing the small gate leads to the theater which is used nowadays for celebrating many events.
The Ishtar Gate was the eighth fortified entrance to the inner city of ancient Babylon. Constructed around 575 BCE by King Nebuchadnezzar II, dedicated to the Babylonian goddess of love, war, and fertility, Ishtar.
Near the entrance, the beautiful blue colored gate is not the original one but a replica of the destroyed gate that we will see inside the ancient city.
The ancient city of Babylon was a major political, cultural, and religious center.
Founded around 2300 BCE by Akkadian.
Hammurabi (1792–1750 BCE) made Babylon the capital of the Old Babylonian Empire and created the Code of Hammurabi, one of history's oldest complete written legal codes.
Later, Nebuchadnezzar II (605–562 BCE), rebuilt the city into the largest metropolis of its time. We can see in Ancient Babylon, The Ishtar Gate, Nebuchadnezzar II Museum, The Hanging Gardens which is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Also we can see Babylon Lion.
The whole area of Babylon was listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019.
翻译:这座古希腊风格的圆形剧场位于伊拉克的巴比伦考古遗址区内。参观巴比伦境内所有历史遗迹的门票价格为25,000伊拉克第纳尔。我们首先参观了这座剧场:它拥有众多柱子、一张皇家餐桌以及一个小花园。穿过一个小门便可进入剧场,如今这里常被用来举办各类活动。
伊什塔尔门则是古巴比伦城内第八个设防的入口。该城门由尼布甲尼撒二世国王于公元前575年左右下令建造。这座城门是为巴比伦的爱与战争及生育之神伊什塔尔而建。
在入口处,那扇漂亮的蓝色城门并非原物,而是那扇已被毁坏的城门的复制品——我们稍后会在古城内看到原版城门。
古老的巴比伦城曾是一个重要的政治、文化和宗教中心。
它由阿卡德人在公元前2300年左右建立。
汉谟拉比(公元前1792–1750年)将巴比伦定为古巴比伦帝国的首都,并颁布了《汉谟拉比法典》。历史上最古老且完整的成文法典之一。
后来,尼布甲尼撒二世(公元前605–562年)重建了这座城市,使其成为当时最大的大都市。在古巴比伦,我们可以看到伊什塔尔门、尼布甲尼撒二世博物馆,以及被列为古代世界七大奇迹之一的空中花园。此外,还能看到巴比伦狮子像。
2019年,整个巴比伦遗址被列为联合国教科文组织世界遗产。
