Worth the wait!

I've been a fan of ancient civilisations and especially Babylon - it's origin - governmental system - belief - civil status - economic - military and it's integration - absorption of other cultures of it's time - then it's slow but sure demise.
But to be also educated that the following civilisations were influenced in some small way by their lifestyle and history, well worth the wait
