Btw...
In 1983, Saddam Hussein started rebuilding the city on top of the old ruins (because of this, artifacts and other finds may well be under the city by now), investing in both restoration and new construction. He inscribed his name on many of the bricks in imitation of Nebuchadnezzar. One frequent inscription reads: "This was built by Saddam Hussein rg/wiki/Babylon
looks like your claim it will never be inhabited agains is coming false

An article published in April 2006 states that UN officials and Iraqi leaders have plans for restoring Babylon, making it into a cultural center.[38][39]
As of May 2009, the provincial government of Babil has reopened the site to tourism.

i have provided sixteen Biblical references, you would think that someone other than
penguin would make reference to at least one of them in their arguments, but noooooo!
But you dismiss my reference as 'generalities'.

If a prophecy says nation X will be destroyed in Y years time then some pillock with a sword (or spear or whatever), with a crowd of minions at his back, in a violent age deciding to make it come true is not remarkable - not in the slightest.
