Babylon was not simply built. It was imposed.

Raised from mud and water, ordered by ritual and repetition, it became a city that expected obedience and assumed endurance. Walls, symbols, and law worked together to give Babylon a singular confidence: that it would remain, long after those who shaped it were gone.

An island once sacred to the gods, ruled by Greeks, and scarred by war. Failaka is where myth, trade, and trauma collide beneath the desert sun.
