"......" Hearing that Su Man had good driving skills, Mu Caochen was a little speechless. ()

Su Man didn't know if she was very bold because she thought she was driving well, or because she had no concept of speed at all. I didn't know much about the road, but I liked to drive the car fast, so in many places, Mu Caochen found that he was going to miss it and hurriedly shouted Su Man to turn, but Su Man basically didn't slow down every time he turned, so the car galloped like a life-threatening rush.

Several times, Mu Caochen was about to hit the corner of the wall in the car, but he slid against the wall in a daze. Although I don't know if Su Man is sure or not, the person in the car is indeed frightened.

"Alright, don't let me go, let's go in!" Su Man and Mu Caochen turned around and entered the house.

knocked on the door, and a childish child's voice came from inside: "Is it my sister?" ”

"Yes, Tiantian, come and open the door." Su Man replied softly.

"Sister Yu'er, Sister Xinyu, sister, they're back." Tian Tian seemed to shout inside, and then opened the door.

When the two of them went in, Tian Xinyu and Xuan Yu'er were serving food outside, and they had been preparing for a while, waiting for them to come back for dinner.

The two washed their hands and then sat down to eat.

Su Man roughly mentioned the matter of digesting anger in the afternoon to everyone.

"Is all the wood cleared now?" Xuan Yu'er asked.

"I don't know about this, I still have to ask Cao Chen himself." Su Man replied.

Xuan Yu'er said to Mu Caochen: "Wood, how are you doing now?" You can't suddenly go out and kill people or something, right? ”

"You think I'm a murderer, huh?" Mu Caochen replied with a smile, but knowing that Xuan Yu'er also cared about herself, she said: "Most of it has been cleared, and I have been practicing more qi recently, and I should be able to clear it all soon." ”

Hearing Mu Caochen say this, Xuan Yu'er seemed to relax and said, "Well, you don't know how terrifying you were last night, and it's really no different from the murderer's appearance." []”

"Yu'er, you seem to have seen a murderer." Su Man asked with a smile amused by Xuan Yu'er's words.

"Didn't everything in TV dramas be like that before?"

"Haha. Yu'er, what TV series did you use before? Tian Xinyu asked with a smile.

"Alas, Sister Xinyu, you didn't see it yesterday. It's scary anyway! ”

Everyone chatted for a while, and then they went back to their rooms, and Su Man also took Tian Tian back to the room. Tian Tian gave the harvested apples, radishes, and cabbage to Su Man, and as for the figs, pomegranates, and olives that were planted later, they did not have any fruit because they were not fully ripe.

After putting away the things, Su Man took Tian Tian to practice for a while before falling asleep. And he passed another night in peace. Early the next morning. The crowd rose up to find ancient Babylon, known as one of the "Four Great Civilizations."

Babylon means "God's Gate." From 2006 BC, the Amorites invaded the valley of the two rivers and destroyed the Third Dynasty of your, which was founded by the Akkadians and Sumerians. Subsequently, around 1894 BCE, the Amorites established a dynasty with the city of Babylon on the banks of the Euphrates River as its capital. Since then, Mesopotamia has been known as "Babylonia" and all the inhabitants there are known as Babylonians.

The group packed up their belongings and handed them to Suman, and then set off towards the ruins of ancient Babylon. The ancient Babylonian ruins are believed to be in the city of Hira in the province of Babylon. It is about a distance of more than one hundred and twenty kilometers from Baghdashira. If there are no accidents, it will only take more than a while.

"According to records, the most famous king of ancient Babylon was the sixth king, Hammurabi. He founded the Babylonian Empire 4,000 years ago and instituted the Code of Hammurabi, the first written law in human history. Halfway through, Zhong Tao flipped through the things he had inquired about before to popularize some knowledge of ancient Babylon to everyone. []

"I have heard of the Code of Hammurabi, which is the most representative cuneiform code, and the world's earliest preserved written code. It included legal proceedings, protection of private property, tenancy, debts, usury, marriage and family, etc., and was a very useful code of law in addition to Hammurabi's own meritorious deeds to God. Gao Zhanbo continued.

"The ancient people here had such a strong sense of law at that time." Xuan Yu'er smacked her tongue.

Listening to Xuan Yu'er's words, Gao Zhanbo shook his head: "In fact, it was just the situation at that time, and the written code was formulated during the special period at that time, with the intention of actually maintaining the private ownership of property by the kings and nobles. A means of regulating relations between free people and consolidating order. ”

The journey was so smooth that they soon reached ancient Babylon.

According to the excavation of archaeologists, the ruins of the ancient city are the city of Babylon during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar II of the Neo-Babylonian Kingdom, and the scale is extremely magnificent, with an area of 10,000 hectares.

It's just through the erosion of war and time. It's no longer as magnificent as it once was.

The first excavation was the Babylonian Gate of Ishta, a 14-meter-high blue gate decorated with blue glazed bricks and gold with reliefs of various animals that the Babylonians worshipped as gods. At the upper end of the gate is a vaulted roof, which is connected on both sides to the old ruined and tall city walls. The lion around the main wall is the embodiment of the goddess Ihita, a symbol of victory and light.

However, what Zhongzhongda saw was nothing more than a city gate built by the Iraqi government on the site. A museum was built inside the city gates, which displays some of the excavated Babylonian artifacts.

Two of them have caught everyone's attention, and one is a huge model of the entire ancient city of Babylon reproduced from excavated artifacts. The other is a black granite stele with a delicate relief on the sun god conferring the title on Hammurabi, and the lower half is a cuneiform inscription of the full text of the world's first legal code, the Code of Hammurabi, established by Hammurabi, king of the Kingdom of Babylon.

However, it is also disappointing that this is still a replica, and the original of the stele is clearly recorded on the plaque and is now in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Coming out of the museum, it is not without gain, at least everyone knows the general appearance of Babylon after restoration, so that it is more convenient for everyone to determine the general direction after entering for a while.

Out of the museum to the ruins of Babylon here. There are no zombies here, and there are still a few when they were at the door, I don't know if it's because the end of the world is coming, and this place has not been officially visited.

The walls of Babylon are tall and thick, and most of the walls tens of meters high are carved with lions and bulls, although they have been worn down for thousands of years, they are still lifelike. The walls of Babylon were double-walled, surrounded by deep moats. Beyond the outer walls, there is a ditch filled with water and an earthen embankment, forming a triple wall. However, there is only a part of the city wall, which was also restored later.

Entering the city, on the right side of the gate of Ihita is the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, also known as the Hanging Garden, known as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

"This is what used to be the Hanging Gardens, right?" Xuan Yu'er asked about the location of Wan Haoqi's hanging garden.

"Yes, the sky garden adopts a three-dimensional gardening technique, placing the garden on a four-story platform, which is supported by tall columns, and the cascading stepped garden, which is full of exotic flowers and plants, and opens up a quiet mountain road in the garden, next to the road is a gurgling water, as if the garden is suspended in mid-air." Wan Haoqi replied.

"Alas, it's a pity, these are gone, no." Xuan Yu'er sighed at the desolate ruins.

"I heard that in Baghdad there is a hanging garden rebuilt in the same way it used to be, but I don't know if we'll ever get a chance to see it." Zhong Tao heard it on the side.

Su Man smiled: "If this time goes well, or if you still need to go back to Baghdad, you will have a chance to go." ”

But it's a pity, it's a pity, there's nothing Su Man is looking for here, so he just stopped for a while and left.

The main road in Babylon is paved with white and rose stone slabs in the center, and it was built so magnificently that even more than 100 years later, when the Greek historian Herodotus, known as the "Father of History", came to Babylon, he called it the most magnificent city in the world.

To the north is the ruins of the main palace, where there is now only a boulder carving of a lion foot, also known as the Babylonian lion. However, famously, Su Man and Xuan Yuer, several girls, including Tian Xinyu, a former doctor, said that they had never heard of it. It is a statue carved from a huge rock block, standing majestically on a rectangular stone cushion, with a stone figure stepping under the powerful lion's claws.

The famous Tower of Babel of Babylon also stands to the north.

The Tower of Babel was originally a temple dedicated to Marduk, the main god of the Babylonians, in the ancient city of Babylon. At the top of the tower is the shrine. There is a stone staircase that leads to the temple. The former Babel Tower had 7 floors and a total height of 90 meters. At the top of the tower, there is also a spectacular shrine dedicated to the Lord God of Marduk, surrounded by warehouses and priests' houses. It is a miracle that people were able to build such a majestic tower of Babel thousands of years ago.

Sadly, however, the Tower of Babel today has not left even a trace of its general shape, and all that remains is the remnants of a square foundation overgrown with weeds.

The regretful crowd was about to leave, and Sha suddenly said to Su Man: "Master, I think there seems to be something here, I think it's better for you not to leave yet." ”

"Sha, do you have any senses?" Su Man asked, because she really couldn't tell what was so special about this bare patch.

"I don't come out either, but I think there's something special about it compared to other places." Sha replied.
