I hate to agree with G-C...so I won't. I'll just take issue with this particular bit of bullshit from the OP.
You're making this shit up as you go along, aren't you? When a certain insignificant group of Canaanites who lived in "Jerusalem" or whatever it was called at the time were forcibly relocated to Babylon the chief god was Marduk...rendered as Merodach in your silly bible. 60 years later in the late 6th century the Zoroastrian Persians overran Babylon and held it until the Greek, Alexander the Great, took it from them. The Greeks learned a lot about Zoroastrianism from that...and later spread it to so-called Jews and their bastard xtian children. But even that doesn't matter because after Alexander's death his empire was split by his generals ( the Diadochi) and the larger part of Asia fell to Seleucus who founded the Seleucid Empire which steadily collapsed in short order as various Asian peoples rebelled.
Selecus built a new city...modestly named Seleucia, a trick he doubtless learned from Alex himself and moved the greater part of the population of Babylon to it c 275. By the time we get down to the mid second century where you have visions of Sin and Ishtar frolicking in the town the Parthian Empire captured the region and found Babylon little more than a deserted ruin.
Really. Where are you getting this shit from? You should be more inquisitive. You believe far too much.
