like how to search an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is a free one and here is the entry for Babylon:

I am shocked and amazed at the people who didn't mention "Babylon 5". :)

There is a reference to a Babylon in the bible in the book of Revelation. Some say that the Babylon mentioned in Revelation is really in the USA, hence I guess some of the jokes? Apparently there does exist a Babylon, NY.

Then there are those that said Revelation already happened, and that Rome and Nero, etc were subjected to the book:

Take it as you will, if you do your own research, you can learn a lot more than discussing it in a forum such as this. Which is why I haven't been on ZIWE for a while, I am doing my own research for my classes and other things.

[link|http://www.wikipedia.org/|http://www.wikipedia.org/] is a free encylopedia, you will find it more educational than asking questions in these forums. If you really find it useful, like PBS, they ask for donations. I find it more valuable than search engines like Google that have searches spammed with illrevevant links.
