※ This video is part of the <Docuprime - Great Babylon Part 1-3> broadcast from January 28 to 31, 2013. Part 1. Babylon City It was the shining best city in the world. It was Babylon, the city that famous ancient scholars such as Herodotus and Aristotle admired. The fantasy city of Babylon, famous for the Tower of Babel and the Hanging Gardens, was like a work of art in itself. The modifiers of the world's first and best were all theirs, with the use of cuneiform and the sexagesimal system, and excellent architectural skills. Since it was an ancient city that was particularly developed compared to other cities, it also had its own unique custom called the marriage market. Babylon's fame reached its peak under the reign of Nebuchadnezzar II, the king of Neo-Babylonia, and what he wanted was to recreate the glory of the era of Hammurabi, the king of Old Babylonia. He built Babylon City, whose outer wall was 11.3 kilometers long. Using brick technology, the country was protected by the blue wall 'Ishtar Gate', and thanks to the moat and sewage facilities using the Euphrates River, which created a civilization, the residents were able to lead stable lives. 'Great Babylon', restored with cutting-edge 3D stereoscopic technology, befitting the most sophisticated and splendid city of ancient times. In particular, in Part 1, Babylon City, you will feel like a Babylonian with vivid stereoscopic images and reproductions. Part 2. Tower of Babel The 'Tower of Babel', which is said to have reached the sky. It was a challenge to God by humans, and the story of Babylon's destruction due to God's wrath is very famous. Many medieval painters were fascinated by this story that showed the 'majesty of God' and left behind many masterpieces. However, the Tower of Babel depicted in these paintings is nothing more than a re-creation of a myth through the artist's imagination. So, along with the famous anecdote of the 'Babylonian Captivity', was the story of the Tower of Babel simply an interesting myth? Was the destruction of the Tower of Babel due to God's wrath? The restored Tower of Babel is 91m high with 7 floors. In fact, the use of baked bricks and asphalt does not reach the sky, but it shows truly incredible technology. The Ziggurat temples that exist in the Middle East are the most realistic evidence that the Tower of Babel existed. In order to find that evidence, EBS risked its life and filmed in Iraq. In addition, it traced the Tower of Babel through the analysis of the Esagel Tablet, the most reliable cuneiform clay tablet, and the Norwegian Stele, the first academically up-to-date data to be broadcast on TV in the world. Based on this solid and up-to-date data, EBS uncovers the truth of the myth through the Tower of Babel restored in 3D stereoscopic images, and confirms for the first time in the world that the 'Tower of Babel in the Bible' really existed. Part 3. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This fantastical building has a more romantic story hidden in it than the Taj Mahal in India. This garden, named Hanging Garden because it looks like it is hanging from the sky, was built by King Nebuchadnezzar II to appease the homesickness of his wife Amytes, who had married from the neighboring country of Media. Nebuchadnezzar II, who is also famous as the great architect who built the Tower of Babel, created a huge garden that was 30 stories high and 60 square meters in area. Was it possible to create a lush garden by laying dirt on each floor and supplying water in ancient times when machines did not exist? Looking at the remains of the plumbing system remaining in Babylon, it seems that it was not impossible. In fact, more than 11 ancient scholars have left eyewitness accounts of the Hanging Gardens. However, due to frequent wars and floods, there are no traces of the Hanging Gardens today. Compared to the myth that shows such near-impossible technology, the restoration of the Hanging Gardens has been nearly impossible due to the lack of ancient records and relics. In 2013, EBS will recreate the Hanging Gardens, which have never been seen before, through the latest technology and scientific analysis through in-depth research. You will be able to witness the moment when the most fantastic story of the ancient times meets 3D stereoscopic imaging technology and becomes reality on TV. ✔ Program name: Documentary Prime - Great Babylon Part 1-3 ✔ Broadcast date: 2013.01.28 ~ 2013.01.31 #GolladunDocumentary #DocumentaryPrime #Bible #Babylon #TowerofBabel #HangingGardens #AncientCivilization 00:00:00 [Part 1] Babylon 00:33:02 [Part 2] Tower of Babel 00:57:59 [Part 3] HangingGardens
