New Babylon Destroys Old Babylon

According to the British Museum, the US Army is damaging the ancient city of Babylon, which it's using as a military base. Artifacts that had survived the turmoil of the past 2,500 years have proved no match for the might of the greatest military machine in history of mankind.

Somewhere Nebuchadnezzar is smiling.

But fret not, archaeologists. In another 2,500 years, the remains of New Babylon may prove to be just as valuable as the ones were currently destroying.
