Saddam did have a thing for ancient Babylon. I guess that was a mixed blessing for the site, though ...
His space-gun project (he wanted to launch satellites by cannon, Jules Verne style ... the objection being that he could have launched missiles the same way) was Project Babylon. Like a lot of his plans, that was wrecked in the First Gulf War, although his chief engineer had just been murdered in Belgium anyways.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
