You seem confused that all wisdom comes from 'religion' & myths? You are deluded. We see with the Greek philsopher Thales as early as 600BC a new kid is in town, that starts to look for explanations of the world that are not based on mythology . Your catch word is religion & your mind is just filled with all the warping haunting ghosts indoctrinated to believe that Babylon was the home of such abominations. My suggestion is , Ishtar or no Easter, get over yourselves, wisdom is wisdom, real knowledge is just that, real. We see easily why those Hebrew nimrods (& you) would be so uncomfortable & squirmy, she was an imposing figure, terrible as she could sometimes be gentle, like the world itself. But nothing really equals the feats of yahweh when it comes to wholesale genocide & murder for such tiny peoples, thats for sure. Hebrews didnt even have the ability to produce art like this, they had so few skills it seems, but good bullshitters when it came to telling stories around campfires in front of their tiny tents.

Hebrews had so few skills they couldn't produce art as we saw in Greece, Byzantium, Babylon,Memphis, Athens or Thebes. They admit this in the bible, for this Solomon couldn't even build his own fantasy temple himself and had to enlist outside help to do this. Kind of gives you a big hint right there, they could even make decent simple decorated clay pots then All those 100,000 man armies & 10,000 chariots, magnificent empire & riches,,,,oops all gone in 60yrs in one generation! Just like all the other cartoon dreams of scribe's fantasies when they concocted this total tribal nonsense centuries later. Huge empires just don't come & go so quickly, in pretended fictions & Hollywood story boards, they do.

And still to this day they cannot find even one tiny gold earring, bracelet,piece of pottery, chariot wheel, harness, sword shield from those 'great empires'. These fables have wasted everyone's time for centuries now, as over in Islam today they still murder each other over these fantasies which Mohammad stole from the Jews as we plainly see, as Hebrews themselves stole earlier. The real big gifts to the world came in from the Hellenes & that is the fact, though the Egpytians really start it all off with all that incredible building. But its just too obvious, your mind is warped & couldn't see what is plainly there for all the world to see. That's why ISIL loves to destroy any sign of antiquiy, why we house many treasures of theirs in our museums. ( Not even one poster of that greek lyre playing shepherd king rock-star david, singing a song & slaying that giant, alas....)

In fact Babylon falls, empties out but becomes part of the Parthian empire about the time rabbi Hillel would have lived there. Their culture was a composite of the Hellene & older Persian and they were in control of the silk roads out of China. They soundly defeated the Romans in 53BC and took control & captured the entire Levant except for Tyre several years later.

We see once again the "KIng of Kings" expression comes in , would be interesting to note what wisdom was coming in from China,
for all we know the Golden Rule could have come in from there too.

Parthian Empire
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthian_Empire#Religion

The Parthians largely adopted the art, architecture, religious beliefs, and royal insignia of their culturally heterogeneous empire, which encompassed Persian, Hellenistic, and regional cultures. For about the first half of its existence, the Arsacid court adopted elements of Greek culture, though it eventually saw a gradual revival of Iranian traditions.

The Arsacid rulers were titled the " King of Kings", as a claim to be the heirs to the Achaemenid Empire; indeed, they accepted many local kings as vassals where the Achaemenids would have had centrally appointed, albeit largely autonomous, satraps. The court did appoint a small number of satraps, largely outside Iran, but these satrapies were smaller and less powerful than the Achaemenid potentates. With the expansion of Arsacid power, the seat of central government shifted from Nisa to Ctesiphon along the Tigris (south of modern Baghdad, Iraq), although several other sites also served as capitals

The earliest enemies of the Parthians were the Seleucids in the west and the Scythians in the east. However, as Parthia expanded westward, they came into conflict with the Kingdom of Armenia, and eventually the late Roman Republic. Rome and Parthia competed with each other to establish the kings of Armenia as their subordinate clients. The Parthians soundly defeated Marcus Licinius Crassus at the Battle of Carrhae in 53 BC, and in 40–39 BC, Parthian forces captured the whole of the Levant except Tyre from the Romans.

However, Mark Antony led a counterattack against Parthia, although his successes were generally achieved in his absence, under the leadership of his lieutenant Ventidius. Also, various Roman emperors or their appointed generals invaded Mesopotamia in the course of the several Roman-Parthian Wars, which ensued during the next few centuries. The Romans captured the cities of Seleucia and Ctesiphon on multiple occasions during these conflicts, but were never able to hold onto them.
