The Babylonian Captivity, a period when Jews were deported and exiled to Babylon following the Siege of Jerusalem of 597 BC.In the year 2003 United States invaded Iraq and in the process damaged one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The particular site was converted by the US troops into a camp; the Camp Alpha. This is being claimed by a new report from the United Nations. In fact UNESCO is the appropriate publisher of the report and it has gone on to mention that how this historical site has been severely damaged by the troops. UNESCO is United Nation’s cultural arm.
In recent times the US military did "major damage" to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon while converting it into a base. Way to go! Dudes!
