The ancient Greek historian, Herodotus, recorded that Babylon’s encircling walls towered over 300 feet above the Euphrates – making the renowned city a seemingly impregnable fortress. But on one night (October 6th, 539 B.C.E.) the mighty City of Babylon was toppled by the Medes and Persians – led by King Cyrus. Commissioned by Jehovah himself through Isaiah’s prophetic writings 200 years earlier, Cyrus then decreed that the Jews were free to leave Babylon and return to rebuild the City of Jehovah, which Nebuchadnezzar had demolished nearly 70 years before. A remnant of Jews seized the opportunity and got out of Babylon.

it never realy did
it is now called Babylon don
or the city of london
this is not as funny as it seems
check the global power structures the same blood that controls have only changed location
and the seat of global power is London the Netherlands and most of all tiny Luxenburg
it is like the roman empire
it disapered under that name but the contolling bloodlines ad their imense wealth did not evaporate ,they change names and location ,that is all
the same happened with Babylon ,and that is where the present ruling elite originated

Pretty much like the Roman Empire that followed... internal strife and division of power... the people were pretty loose and fancy free too that did not help much in holding the civilization together... so Bye Bye Baby-lon, Bye Bye

Given its foes, it was pretty resilient. It was weakened by civil wars and revolt (several times) and attacked from without by invading empires (several times).
