This Part 3 of a three Part Series exploring the destruction of the Tower of Babylon in Mesopotamia (Modern Day Iraq). In this episode we explore the rise of the Assyrian Kingdom to power within Mesopotamia, the Bronze Age Collapse. Next we review what the tower of Babylon looked like based on existing accounts, and finally explore the text of the Warhammer 40K universe and see how close that text is to our own history and see if there's any clues in there to give us an exact time to tie the Emperor of Mankind to an actual historical figure. Finally we go through 1600 years of history where we note all the major times the city of Babylon was sacked and potentially involved the destruction or raiding of the Temple of Marduk inside Babylon.
The Emperor of Warhammer 40K's lore could potentially have been one or more of many possible kings who sacked Babylon and its temple.
Can a Piece of Glass give us the vital clue we need to answer the question of "Who was the Emperor when the Tower of Babylon was destroyed?"
