IRAQ. Where is ANCIENT BABYLON located and what happened to the PALACES OF SADDAM HUSSEIN?
Friends!!! On our YouTube Channel PointOnTheMap, we continue our journey through Iraq.
We leave Baghdad and go to the north of the country to the city of Samarra. The minaret of Malvia which was built in the 9th century has been preserved in this ancient city. In Samarra, we will visit the golden mosque of Al-Askari, sacred for Muslim Shiites, where 2 Shiite Imams are buried.
After we go to the city in the first metropolis - the riddle-city of Babylon. The city reached its heyday in the era of the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar, who during the construction of the city signed every tenth brick with his own name. In the late 80s, Saddam Hussein restored Babylon and also signed every tenth brick, but with his own name)
At the end of the video, a surprise - a draw of a souvenir from Samarra - a small copy of the Malvia minaret
