In ancient times, the most powerful and influential cities in the world were located primarily in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Places like Alexandria, Jericho, and Carthage once were thought to be as influential or powerful as cities like London, Tokyo, or Washington, DC, are today. By the 21st century, the majority of cities that were military, economic, and religious powers hundreds or thousands of years ago no longer have that kind of influence. Although some of the powerful ancient cities like Alexandria and Baghdad do still exist, many more of them have been forgotten or left in ruins.

Nebuchadnezzar II: Goes completely crazy, behaving literally like a animal
Babylonians: What could have happened to him! Yesterday, he was fine!
Jews: God's wrath punished him for destroying Jerusalem. That is the only reason why.
The previous night
Nebuchadnezzar II: Those Jews think that their supposedly omnipotent God scares me. How deluded. HAHAHAHA. Well, let's see what's on TV tonight. The Kardashians? I've never heard of that show. Maybe it's entertaining.

For those of you interested in the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians, there is a movie from the late 90's called Jeremiah, which tells the desperate attempts of the prophet (played by Patrick Dempsey) to prevent the destruction of the city. The special appearance in the film by Klaus Maria Brandauer as Nebuchadnezzar II (by far the best depiction of the king) and Oliver Reed really make it enjoyable

Which city would YOU have liked to visit?
All of them. I'd liked to have visited all of them.
If I had to pick just one, it'd probably be Carthage, with Tenochtitlan a close second. Carthage for it's historical and cultural significance and Tenochtitlan for it's fabled beauty.

The Earth is littered with the ruins of empires that once believed they were eternal. We shall also pass and fade into the ripples of time. Here is a parable: power never lasts.

Climate change made the Persian Gulf to recede. What? We're talking about the mouth of one or two large rivers, which built enough silt to do the job.

For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son so that whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life
