Within the city was an inner enclosure for the royal palaces. The walls aboutthis were said to have been higher than those about the city.The Babylonians were skilled in the arts. These included sculpture, painting,weaving, gold working and the manufacture of metal weapons andagricultural implements. Their Jewellers created most artistic jewellery.Many samples have been recovered from the graves of its wealthy citizensand are now on exhibition in the leading museums of the world.At a very early period when the rest of the world was still hacking at treeswith stone-headed axes, or hunting and fighting with flint-pointed spears andarrows, the Babylonians were using axes, spears and arrows with metal heads.The Babylonians were clever financiers and traders. So far as we know, theywere the original inventors of money as a means of exchange, of promissorynotes and written titles to property.Babylon was never entered by hostile armies until about 540 years before thebirth of Christ.Even then the walls were not captured. The story of the fall of Babylon ismost unusual. Cyrus, one of the great conquerors of that period, intended toattack the city and hoped to take its impregnable walls.Advisors of Nabonidus, the King of Babylon, persuaded him to go forth tomeet Cyrus and give him battle without waiting for the city to be besieged. Inthe succeeding defeat to the Babylonian army, it fled away from the city.Cyrus, thereupon, entered the open gates and took possession withoutresistance.Thereafter the power and prestige of the city gradually waned until, in thecourse of a few hundred years, it was eventually abandoned, deserted, leftfor the winds and storms to level once again to that desert earth from whichits grandeur had originally been built. Babylon had fallen, never to rise again,but to it civilization owes much.The eons of time have crumbled to dust the proud walls of its temples, butthe wisdom of Babylon endures.12Brought To You Byhttp://TheDiamondsMine.com
Money is the medium by which earthly success is measured.Money makes possible the enjoyment of the best the earth affords.Money is plentiful for those who understand the simple laws which govern itsacquisition.Money is governed today by the same laws which controlled it whenprosperous men thronged the streets of Babylon, six thousand years ago.13Brought To You Byhttp://TheDiamondsMine.com
