помогите пожалуйста с текстом..
Babylon stood on a broad fertile plane where the Euphrates comes close to the Tigris. The two great rivers were connected at this point by a canal and were crossed by a road from the east leading westward to Damascus and along the Yordan valley, to Egypt. Herodotus describes Babylon's shape as a square and this is true for the older part of the city. Its shape was probably a reflection of a religious-astronomical belief. There is a square constellation of stars which the Babylonians called "the field" and which they imagined to be the agricultural land of the gods. The city of Babylon was supposed to be the projection upon earth of that celestian field.
But at the time of Herodotus, Babylon was a rectangle rather than a true square. It had been extended across the river to the west, and its parts were connected by a bridge, the first passenger bridge of which we have any record. The city was surrounded by a broad deep moat, filled with water. Behind this moat rose a wall of considerable height and width. Later the second wall was built very close to the first one around the older part of the area between the river and the procession street. South or it were the temples and the great temple tower, the Ziggurat. Secondary fortresses stood in the centre of each city division, according to Herodotus. He described the houses as being usually there or four stories high; the streets are straight, the principal ones running parallel to the river, and the others crossing the main avenues at right angles. Outside the city walls, there were suburban settlements, but these may have been the villages in which lived the people tilling the land for landlords living within the city Herodotus was deeply impressed with Babylon. "In magnificence there is no other city that approaches it," he remarked. The Babylon of its day belonged to Persia, then master of the largest empire ever established in the Near East. It was not the capital any more but retained the importance as a commercial centre to which its location destined it.
