Books of the Lost World

by Phil Young (sovbooks.com)

Did you know there was once another world, now lost, that once existed where people lived with the dinasaurs before the Great Flood? Did you know there are more than 600 Flood Legends worldwide, suggesting it was not just Noah and his tribe who survived?

The Great Flood only happened around 2345 BC according to Hebrew dates found in the Old Testament. Adam and Eve were the patriarch and matriarch of the white people, according to the oldest legend in Western Culture about the garden of Eden and Adam and Eve. That history involves the king of the reptiles, called Lucifer or Satan or the dragon, who transformed himself into a snake.

This story follows the races of people, and probably on the sixth day there were about 12 tribes I reckon and the white people, the people of the east who are the Chinese, the Africans, and so on were all created, but only Adam and Eve were placed in the Garden of Eden.

These manuscripts relate to these same stories about the creation of our world, and the emergence of the Western and Christian, Jewish and Muslim cultures:

Book 1          Genesis: The most famous book about creation, and this is the first book in the Old Testament. It was probably written by Jewish scribes after the Babylonian period 600 BC. The language of Genesis is more modern than Exodus, Deutoronomy, Numbers and Leviticus.

The first 10 chapters of Genesis summarise the Lost World legends of Adam and Eve, Garden of Eden, Cain and Abel, and Noah’s Flood. From Chapter 11 onwards the book describes briefly the lives of Abraham, his sons and his children and grandchildren up unto Joseph.

Today there are other books available that shed light on the same stories told in Genesis.

Book 2          First Book of Adam and Eve: This book is written by ancient Hebrews, by someone like Enoch, and describes how after Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden they lived in a cave near the Holy Mountain.

It was here that the ealiest stories about our Western culture emerge around Adam and Eve, who were the first created patriarch and matriarch of the Western people in the world today.

In this story Adam and Eve are deceived many times by the fallen archangel Satan and his hordes of demons who manifest in apparitions. This book describes how God and his angels protect Adam and Eve at the beginning of time, the birth of Cain and his twin sister Lulawa, the birth of Abel and his twin sister Aklia, and Seth. And it describes the murder of Abel by Cain.

Book 3          Second Book of Adam and Eve: This book describes prophesies given in the Lost World foretelling the Great Flood of Noah. In this book you can read about the saga of the children of Seth living on the Holy Mountain, until many were lured down by Genun using music and jewellery, and many of Seth’s children joined Cain’s children. Only Enoch, Methuselah and Noah remained.

These translations of the two books of Adam and Eve were once written in Arabic, and then the Arabic version was translated into Ethiopic by Dr E Trumpp, a Professor at the University of Munich. These books were not part of English literature until in 1880 AD when the first English translation was published by Dr. S. C. Malan, Vicar of Broadwindsor, working from the edition edited by Dr. E. Trumpp.

The Books of Adam and Eve were included in a series of books called the Forgotten Books of Eden, which were published in 1927 by The World Publishing Company.

Book 4          Enoch: The book of Enoch describes Enoch’s journey to heaven.

The original Aramaic version of Enocial writings were lost until the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered between 1947 and 1979 in eleven caves around Wadi Qumran, near an ancient settlement called Khirbet Qumran on the West Bank, on the north western shore of the Dead Sea.

Fragments of up to ten Enoch manuscripts were found on scrolls. The actual famous scrolls comprise one part of the findings at Qumran, and much of the rest of what was found was Enochian literature, believed to be read by the Essenes. Also found was the Book of Jubilees indicating they read both Jubilees and Enoch.

The book of Barnabas quotes the Book of Enoch three times (4:3, 16:5,6) calling it Scripture, and so the church at Antioch must have had access to Enoch’s books, just like the Essenes. Many early church fathers supported Enoch, and Justin the Martyr ascribed all evil to demons whom he alleged to be the offspring of the angels who fell through lust for women, which is something Enoch said happened on Mount Ermon.

Athenagoras, writing in his work called Legatio around about 170 A.D., regarded Enoch as a true prophet. However the themes of the Book of Enoch describing the angelic nature of the universe infuriated many of the Church fathers. One called Filastrius condemned the book of Enoch openly as heresy.

Several early church fathers approved of Enoch’s writings, such as Tatian (110-172); Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyons (115-185); Clement of Alexandria (150-220); Tertullian (160-230); Origen (186-255); Lactantius (260-330), Methodius of Philippi, Minucius Felix, Commodianus, and Ambrose of Milan.

In a twist of irony Jewish rabbis while saying they are Hebrews, seldom give any credence to Enoch, one of the great Hebrew fathers. Rabbi Simeon ben Jochai in the second century A.D. even pronounced a curse upon those who believed Enoch’s books. And so Enoch’s books have been denounced, banned, cursed and burned, and hidden for centuries until 1821 when it came back into circulation.

Back in 1773 AD rumors of a surviving copy of the book of Enoch drew a Scottish explorer named James Bruce to Ethiopia. True to hearsay, the Book of Enoch was preserved by the Ethiopic church alongside the other books of the Bible. So James Bruce secured not one, but three copies of the book and took them to Britain.

Then in 1821 Dr. Richard Laurence, a Hebrew professor at Oxford, produced the first English translation of the book of Enoch, and so our modern world gained a valuable glimpse into the mysteries of Enoch again.

The Reverend Richard Laurence, Archbishop of Cashel, labored for many hundreds of hours over the faded manuscript in the hands of the Bodleian Library, and carefully substituted English words and expressions from the original Geez, comparing the results with known extracts, such as the few brief chapters preserved in Greek by Syncellus during the ninth century. The book of Genesis 5:18-24 only mentions Enoch briefly as follows:

Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and begot Enoch. After he begot Enoch, Jared lived eight hundred years, and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years, and he died. Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah.

After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years, and Enoch walked with God, then he was no more, because God took him away.

The book of Genesis describes Enoch being taken away, and likewise the book of Hebrews in the New Testament 11:5 it says:

By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him, for before he was taken he had this testimony – that he pleased God.

Again in the New Testament, the book of Jude, most likely by written by Jude the apostle who travelled throughout Persia, says in chapter 1:14-15 about Enoch:

Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying: Behold, the Lord comes with thousands upon thousands of His holy ones, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them for all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and for all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.

Book 5          Abraham: The Book of Abraham was found on Papyrus Scrolls in Egypt in 1832, and is written in the first person, as if Abraham wrote it himself.

Book 6          Jasher: The Book of Jasher is written by Hebrew authors and the word Jasher refers to records of the righteous, and describes the Hebrew world before the flood and during the lives of Noah and Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and Joshua.

It was likely to have been compiled by people like Aaron and Moses in Egypt and Israel. The book of Jasher has a large extract which is really a copy of the Book of Abraham almost word for word. , but the segment is written as if it is about Abraham rather than by him.

Most important is that the book of Jasher is twice referred to in the Old Testament. First reference is found in Joshua written around 1400 BC and the second is in 2 Samuel, around 1050 BC. Joshua 10:13 says:

And the sun stood still and the moon stayed until people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

The story in Joshua is found in Jasher 88:63-64. In Jasher 56:9 is the story Samuel the prophet refers to in 2 Samuel 1:18: Also he bade them to teach the children of Judah the use of the bow. See it is written in the book of Jasher.

Therefore until 1000 BC the book of Jasher, and not Genesis was the preferred Hebrew text about creation and the evolution of world history. It turns out that today we have translations of the book of Jasher, and the view of world history that the ancient Israelites is all recorded in Jasher in some detail.

The word apocryphal has been used to discredit these books, but the book of Jasher and all the Apocryphal books should really be included in the Old Testament to give more complete understanding of the history of Israel. There is nothing in these books that should be kept away from people – rather I think people should read them all.

Book 7          Jubilees: The book of Jubilees was found among the Dead Sea scrolls, along with the books of Enoch.

Jubilees is what the books the Essenes must have read along with other books of Enoch. Jubilees is another Book attributed to Moses. It is presented as a Book of Moses that describes the Angel of the Presence, mentioned in Exodus, the angel that stood like a pillar of smoke and fire between the Israelites and the Egyptians.

It is called the book of Jubilees because it explains in detail the significance of the time period. 49 years is comprised of seven sevens (seven periods of seven years is 49 years) and the 50^th year is a Jubilee year, symbolising new life and a new beginning.

In ancient Israel debts were wiped after every seventh year and the year of Jubilees.

The Book of Jubilees reads like the book of Daniel 9:25 when it speaks about seven sevens being a prophetic period of punishment. Both books talk about angels just like the book of Enoch.

The Jews and Muslims reject all of these books, and so do many Judeo-Christians, who by definition are those Christians who believe the Jews are God’s chosen people. I am a Christian but not a Judeo-Christian, because I believe the Jews are the tribe of Esau, and the white people are the tribes of Cain and Jacob.

I rely upon an age old technique of listening to what the ancient witnesses had to say, particularly to begin with when dealing with the Lost and Ancient worlds.

This idea is in contrast to modern historians, who like to give their own view while ignoring the evidence that has been preserved for 5000 or 6000 years and is available to mankind today. I use quotes from secular literature and the Christian Bible and the Christian apocryphal books.

I try to let you make your own mind up rather than hammering home what I think all the time, however if I think my opinion will be helpful for you to understand what the information is saying, then I give it, but I only have part of the picture.

My goal is to help you the reader, first to understand what I perceive what reality for all mankind really might be, and second to be rewarded with new knowledge, because you were inquisitive enough to search for truth.

Noah’s Ark

The books of Genesis, Abraham and Jasher are available to us today. They describe the lives of Noah’s children and how Noah gave Japeth by lot Western Europe. Seth was given west of the Euphrates beginning in Mesopotamia to the Mediteranean as far south as the Nile, and Ham was given Persia east of the Tigris.

Noah is the father of all European white people, yet over 600 flood legends world wide make me believe, that many other tribes,other than Noah’s family survived the Flood. Noah’s story is one account found in the Bible which is central to all European civilisations.

This photo below shows Noah’s Ark resting in South eastern Turkey, and this is where our Western language and culture emerged from. Today the Turkish Government have named this area Noah’s Ark National Park, and visitors can visit it today.

Site of Noah’s Ark – 11 miles south of Mount Ararat, in SE Turkey.

The legends of Noah’s Ark have included stories of wreck up on mount Ararat itself, but the legend of Berosus has been discovered 17 miles south of mount Ararat, and appears to be the true wreck of Noah’s Ark. It even has major rivets to hold the timber frame together made of caste iron.

In the third century 281 BC a Babylonian historian named Berossus, became such an influence on Greek history that they erected a statue of him in Athens. Berossus correctly pointed to the position of Noah’s Ark in a fragment of a letter he wrote to Antiochus I, who was one of Alexander the Great’s general’s.

Berossus told Antiochus that Noah’s Ark still existed and it was visited by pilgrimmes, in a place where common people could reach. Therefore the site he was referring to was not Mount Ararat, and Berossus actually gave coordinates, according to explorer David Fasold, to the place 11 miles south of Mount Ararat where Noah’s Ark is today.

These discoveries meant Noah’s Ark, is not on Mount Ararat itself as some people speculated, for as the book of Genesis says it is located in the mountains of Ararat. Josephus’s Book of Jewish History has an extract about Noah’s Ark, as follows:

Now all the writers of barbarian histories make mention of this flood, and of this ark, among whom is Berosus the Chaldean. For when he is describing the circumstances of the flood, he goes on thus: “It is said there is still some part of this ship in Armenia, at the mountain of the Cordyaeans; and that some people carry off pieces of the bitumen, which they take away, and use chiefly as amulets for the averting of mischiefs.”

Hieronymus the Egyptian also, who wrote the Phoenician Antiquities, and Mnaseas, and a great many more, make mention of the same. Nay, Nicolaus of Damascus, in his ninety-sixth book, hath a particular relation about them; where he speaks thus:

There is a great mountain in Armenia, over Minyas, called Baris, upon which it is reported that many who fled at the time of the Deluge were saved; and that one who was carried in an ark came on shore upon the top of it; and that the remains of the timber were a great while preserved. This might be the man about whom Moses the legislator of the Jews wrote.

The Muslim Koran says Noah’s Ark landed on Mount Judi and the mountain closest to the place where the Ark was found has Mount Judi near by. There are three Mount Judi’s in the Ararat Mountains, but the largest is next to the Ark.

The Ark was first found by a shepherd called Rashid in 1948. He said the strange boat shape emerged from the soil after there had been three earth quakes.

Then in 1959 the shape was noticed in a photo taken by a Turkish Air force pilot and the photographer declared the object was man made. This announcement received international media attention.

However it was not until 1986 when archealoligists, Ron Wyatt, Dr John Bongardner and David Fasold, ran scientific equipment across the site that they mapped out the rooms and measured the Ark. They also found iron rivets embedded into the joints.

About 100 miles further down these Ararat mountains on the Tigris River lies where the ancient city of Ur is. Today a plain called Shinar still exists in south eastern Turkey, on what is the ancient Shinar Plain.

This region in Mesopotamia is where Nimrod and Abraham’s families used to live on the land farming sheep and cattle, near towns called Terah, Nahor and Haran. Terah was Abraham’s father and Nahor and Haran were Abraham’s brothers.

The book of Jasher, which we have a copy of today, says Abraham’s family lived near the city of Ur, meaning city of Light, and Genesis says Abraham came from the land of Ur of the Chaldeans. Near the city of Ur which is 100 miles south of Noah’s Ark

Around 2000 BC Nimrod established Babylon further down on the Euphrates from south eastern Turkey, along with Ninevah. Both of these cities would raise up the Ayysrian and babylonian Empires respectively, but those events took place over 1000 years after Nimrod’s Babylon in Turkey, well away from Nebuchadnessar’s Babylon down in Iraq, around 600 BC.

The Sumerians became the Samarians in Northern Israel from around 1400 BC. Much later they became the Sarmations, and in 440 BC the Greek historian Herodotus said the Cimmerians (Sumarians) were the youngest of nations – only 1000 years old.

What happened 1000 years before 440 BC? The Israelite nation crossed the Red Sea with Moses in 1446 BC and Joshua entered the Promised Land around 1406 BC. How do we know Moses crossed the Red Sea in 1446 BC? Because in 1 Kings 6:1 it says: In the 480^th year after the Israelites had come out of Egypt … [Solomon] … began to build the temple of the Lord, which was at Jerusalem.

Since the fourth year of Solomon’s reign was the year 966 BC then the crossing was 1446 BC. So we know the langauge and religions of Mesopotamia were the religions of Freemasonry and Christianity, with Nimrod representing the Freemasons and Abraham representing the Christians.

The religion of Islam comes from Abraham’s oldest son Ishmael (Genesis 16:16), who was part white and part Egyptian, and this son was the first Arab to be born around 1900 BC. 2500 years later a descendant of Ishmael began Islam around 600 AD.

The religion of Judaism come from the Edomites, because  according to Genesis, Esau married two Turkish women (Genesis 26.34)  and one Ishmaelite woman (Genesis 28.8). That is why today Jews todays are part white (Hebrew) part Turkish (Hittite) and part Arab (Ishmaelite).

That is how Noah’s children are linked to Christianity, from Noah’s son Shem where Abraham, Isaac and Jacob came from; through Freemasonry, from Noah’s son Ham where Nimrod came from; through Islam, from Abraham’s son Ishmael; through Judaism, through Isaac’s son Esau.

Esau and Jacob

If you look at a phonebook in Norway, Finland, Sweden or Denmark, you see many people have the surname Jacobson. That is because they are sons of Jacob, as the most common family name in Scandinavia suggests to us.

A map of the Middle East in the time of ancient Israel shows that Israel occupied territories near Jerusalem and Bethlehem, where the children of Jacob lived. After Jacob’s name was changed to Israel, the sons of Jacob became the Israelites from Judea and Samaria.

The Danube flows out of the Black Sea and means the River of Dan, and Den mark means the mark of Dan. This links the Vikings and Sarmatian nations from Northern Sarmaria to the Scandanavians.

Dan is of course one of the names of one of the 10 tribes of northern ancient Israel deported by the Assyrians around 720 BC. The Danish today are the direct descendants of the tribe of Dan.

Another European tribe was the Canaanites, who lived where Lebanon is today, when that region was called the land of Canaani. Many of Canaanites were farmers, just like the Hebrews, but the Canaanites were also known as the Phoenicians, and spread out to Crete, to Cyprus around all the Mediterranean, and were the enemies of Greece and Rome.

The Phoenicians travelled west to the British Isles and across the Atlantic Ocean, guided by the northern star, from the coastal Mediterranean cities of Tyre, Byblos, Cyprus, Crete, Venice and Carthage, and eastward across to the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.

To the south the Edomites operated from Petra and the port of Ezion Geber on the Red Sea, where they travelled east to India and the Pacific Ocean. If you travel to the lost city of Petra today, you see what must have been one of the most important cities in the land of Edom.

Petra was unknown to the Western world until 1812 AD when the British Archaeological Society sent a Swiss explorer to discover the rumours of a lost city in the Middle East.

However Nebuchadnezzar swept across both Israel and Edom in 586 BC, and the Edomites helped the Kazzite Babylonians attack the Judeans in Jerusalem, then for their reward they moved from the south where Edom was in places like Petra and the port of El Zion down on the Red Sea into Judea. that was when Edom became absorbed into the Babylonian empire.

In Judea the Edomites became known as the Idumeans, and that is the word the Jews get their name from today. It literally means Judean in their Babylonian Aramaic language, which is the modern Yiddish language from the ancient Babylonian Empire. Nebuchadnezzar was a Kazzite who moved from Tyre to Babylon, just like the Idumeans.

Other non related tribes also surrounded the sons of Jacob in the Middle East. There were the Egyptians to the south and Africans across the Great Sea, which we call the Mediterranean. To the West of Jerusalem were a Greek sea people called the Philistines who are the Palestinians today, but who are not the Arab Palestinians.

To the north lived the Hittites who were the people we call Turks today, and the Babylonians, were Kazzites, and were part Turkish and part European. In other words they look a lot like the Jews today.

The Edomites are descended from Jacob’s brother Esau, and they also look a lot like the Jews today. In the book of Genesis Chapter 36 we see Esau married two Turkish women and an Ishmaelite woman, as follows:

1           Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.

2           Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan. Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite.

3           And Bashemath Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth.

So Esau’s third wife was half white and half Egyptian (the original Arab race). The marriage by Esau to Turkish and Ishmaelite women created the part European, part Turkish and part Arab race of the Edomites and Babylonians, who we can recognise as Jews today.

Previously the general belief among Judeo-Christians was that the Edomites and Babylonians disappeared off the face of earth, or became intermingled with other tribes, but none of the races of famous tribes in the Middle East have actually disappeared.

The region of Edom is desolate, dry and mountainous, and as you enter the city of Petra, after walking between cliffs that rise 100 to 160 feet high (over 40 metres high) suddenly the first building carved out of the mountainous rock you see is called El Khaznet.

The Arabs say it was Pharaoh’s Treasury, when the region of Edom was under Egyptian control for a few decades, during the reign of Rameses III. However El Khaznet links Petra directly to the Khazars or the Khazzarian Jews, and the citizens of Petra were the traders and bankers from Edom.

Petra was situated on the trade routes between Egypt and Syria along the King’s Highway, and was also situated on the Incense route between Egypt and Persia.

Old Testament history tells us in Numbers Chapter 20 that the King of Edom refused at first to allow Moses and the children of Israel to pass through his land, just to the north of Petra. This would have been the year 1446 BC.

Then after 40 years of wandering the desert, when Moses lead the Israelites out of the desert and travelled peacefully through Edom and Moab, on their way to Jordan River. This would have been the year 1406 BC.

The Moabites and Ammonites became the Slavic people and migrated up into Russia from the Middle East.

The tribes of Jacob who Moses lead, became the Scandanavian, German and Celtic nations.

Nothing more is recorded about the Edomites until their defeat by King Saul of Israel around 1030 BC. Forty years later King David, under general Joab defeated the Edomites in the valley of salt, which is the Dead Sea region, where Sodom and Gomorrah once was.

King David placed Hebrew governors or prefects over their Jewish cousins. Solomon continued this. Then about 930 BC after the 10 tribes of Israel in the north separated into the northern kingdom of Israel, Edom continued to pay tribute to the king of Judah in Jerusalem in the south.

The Hebrew tribe of Judah are the Scottish people today, and the Jewish Edom were neighbours, until around 586 BC when the Edomites became the allies of the Babylonians, and helped destroy Judea and Jerusalem. This is what the prophet Ezekiel said (25:12 to14):

Because Edom took revenge on the house of Judah and became guilty by doing so, therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will stretch out my hand against Edom and kill its men and their animals. I will lay it to waste.

Those desolate ruins of the cities mentioned in Ezekiel’s prophecies are found in the Middle East today. Places like Petra, Babylon and Tyre. Again Ezekiel (35: 5 & 6) issued another prophetic warning as follows:

Because you harboured an ancient hostility and the delivered the Israelites over to the sword at the time of their calamity. The time their punishment reached its climax, therefore as surely as I live, I will give you over to bloodshed and I will pursue you. I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and cut off from all who come and go.

The last book in the Old Testament, called Malachi, written around 433 BC, speaks about the destruction of Edom, as follows:

The Lord says: Was not Esau Jacob’s brother, yet Jacob I have loved and Esau I have hated, and I have turned his mountian sinto a wasteland, and left his inheritance to the jackeals.

Today the barren waste of Edom is a desert waste land, and the hostility between Edom and the Israelites has continued throughout history. The apostle Paul echoed what Malachi said, when he wrote to his own family and friends back in Rome saying: Jacob I loved, Esau I hated.

The story about the hostility between Esau and Jacob is outlined in the books Genesis, Deutoronomy, Numbers, Jasher and Jubilees. Refer to my book called Esau and Jacob (NZ$10)

Genesis is a Jewish book and was given to the Western world through Jerome, when he was commissioned by Pope Damascus in 382 AD to translate the Bible into Latin. In 386 Jerome settled in Bethlehem in seclusion to complete his translation, and it took him 23 years to write the Latin Vulgate.

In doing so Jerome introduced the Jewish Pentateuch or Torah into Christianity. They are now the first five books of the Old Testament. But the book of Jasher in particular which is referred to by Joshua and Samuel is strangely missing from today’s Old Testament, as are the books of Enoch, which were widely read in these ancient times.

These Pentateuch books are the only books Christians and Jews share in actual fact, so in reality the Jews do not share with Christians any of the Old Testament books or any of its later prophets or history. Especially books like Daniel and Ezekiel, as prophets in Babylon, who forecasted Babylon’s demise. The reason the Jews hate the books of Daniel or Ezekiel is simply because they are the Babylonians – not the Hebrews.

Many Christians are under the illusion that the Jews are the Hebrews, because their Yiddish language has 18% Hebrew words, but it has almost 80% Aramiac words. By looking at the Jews today we see they are a mixed race, and although they are part Hebrew or white,  they are part Turkish and part Ishmaelite (Arab), they are the ancient Jewish Babylonian races of Nebuchadnezzar.

The Jews were from ancient places like Edom, Babylon and Canaan, which are all the nations that surrounded the white Israelite nation from round 1400 BC.

The Jews bare the Idumeans of Judea, because after the defeat of Judah (586BC), Edom disappeared and became intertwined within the Babylonian Empire as Babylonians.

Today the Orthodox Jews and rabbis rely upon the Babylonian Talmud, which contains 63 volumes of the traditions of the Pharisees. The Talmud was completed 499 AD in Babylon. The Mishnah is a smaller version of the Talmud.

Babylonians like Nebuchadnezzar were Kazzites, originally  from the city of Tyre in Canaan or Phoenicia, and were part (Canaanite) white and part Turkish (Hittite). The earlies known Jewish Kazzite king was Hammurabbi from Babylon around 1780 BC.

The name rabbi was being used by the Jews from as early as that time. Later this city on the Euphrates River became the places where hanging gardens of Babylon once were.
