Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had an idea of how tall the walls of ancient Babylon were.  I have read accounts from Herodotus however it seems as though these were exaggerations.  Thank you.

I read a book titled babylon by Joan Oates, I believe it said the walls were at most 75 feet in height.

Thank you.  I actually just recently ordered a used version of that book.  I wonder if it will clear up alot of things because there seems to be so many conflicting accounts on the city.
