Babak Khorramdin

بابک خرمدین

Remarks :
Born in Balalabad near Ardebil, his father Merdas was a resident of Tisfun. His mother, Mahroo was from Azerbaijan. After the death of Javidan, Babak became the leader of Javidanian or Khorramian sect and staged an uprising against Abbasi Caliphs in 816 AD. Babak was betrayed by Afshin who handed him to the Abbasi Caliph. His hands and legs were cut and after his death, his head was sent to all cities around Iran to mark the end of the last movement to revive ancient religion in Iran. It's been recorded in Siasatnameh that Babak washed his face with his own blood after his first hand was cut, to show that he did not fear. That is what it takes to become a national hero.

Babylon

بابل

Remarks :
Ancient city capital of Babylonia; 89 km South of Baghdad near the Euphrates (Firat). Babylon was one of the most famous cities in antiquity. Probably first settled in the 3rd millennium BC, it came under the rule of the Amorite kings around 2000 BC. It became the capital of Babylonia and was the chief commercial city of the Tigris and Euphrates river system. Destroyed by Sennacherib in 689 BC, it was later rebuilt. It attained its greatest glory as capital of the Neo-Babylonian empire under Nebuchadrezzar II (605–561 BC). Babylonians opened its gates to the liberation army of Cyrus the Great who set slaves, including displaced Jews free. Macedonian Alexander, who took the city in 331 BC, died there. The largest city in the world at the time, Babylon contained many temples, including the great temple of Marduk with its associated ziggurat, which was apparently the basis for the story of the Tower of Babel. The Hanging Gardens, a simulated hill of vegetation-clad terracing, was one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
