MUSE: City of Mass Delusion, 2006Stay away from me
Build a fortress
And shield your beliefs
Touch the divine
As they fall in line
Can I believe
When I don't trust
All your theories
Turn to dust
You choose to hide
From the All Seeing Eye
Destroy this City of Delusion
Break these walls down
I will avenge
And justify my reasons
With your blood
You will not rest
Settle for less
Until you guzzle
And squander whats left
Do not deny
That you live
and let die
Destroy this City of Delusion
Break these walls down
I will avenge
And justify my reasons
With your blood

Berlin:
A touring exhibition of the greatest surviving treasures of ancient Babylon opens Thursday in the German capital Berlin at the Pergamon Museum, which already has one of the world's richest Babylonian collections. The Louvre of Paris and the British Museum of London have contributed artefacts to the show, which has already been seen in the French capital, but without many of the German treasures.
Pergamon officials said an extra 300,000 people were expected to see the spectacular Babylon: Myth and Reality show before it leaves Berlin on October 5 for London. In an average year, the museum has 1.2 million visitors.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, a sponsor of the show, said Babylon in modern-day Iraq had been the world's first urban culture. The exhibition includes statues, writing tablets, grave goods, stone reliefs, weapons, coins and scale models.
The lofty Pergamon Museum keeps two Babylonian monuments indoors: the Ishtar Gate and the Street of Processions.
RAINBOW: Gates of Babylon, 1978
The short tiled street used to connect the city's Temple of Marduk with the royal palace. German archaeologist Robert Koldewey dug up the brightly coloured tiles a century ago to be reassembled in the Berlin museum.
Babylon was a centre of power for about 500 years until the conquests in 322 BC by Alexander the Great of Macedonia.
Much of the site 90 kilometres south of Baghdad has been stripped. Iraq built a modern replica of Babylon's wall and other buildings in the 1980s on the site.
Exhibition designers said the 1,000 items illustrated the vast cultural heritage of Iraq and would explore why western culture falsely associated Babylonian civilization with evil, with a Biblical tradition describing the city as the "Whore of Babylon."
The same cultural tradition has regarded the city as a failure, because it failed to complete its lofty Tower of Babel
