  NFW. That's gotta be something Sadam built. If it looks like ruins, I'm sure it's coincidental

  Its part of a city from the babylonian era trust me

  Seems awfully well preserved if they're ruins.

  it looks like some of them were being rebuilt. you can see the ruins to the left of the photo.

  I believe most of this was underground for a long long time. However I wouldnt rule out north's observations of being rebuilt.

  Saddam was interested in claiming association with ancient Mesopotamian kings - rebuilding chunks of archaeological sites and modelling his palaces after ancient ones were some ways he did this. so you're both right - ancient ruins at right, reconstruction at left.

  n-rock has it right: Saddam was trying to rebuild parts of Babylon on the old foundations left over from Nebuchadnezzar's time.
