Answer 1

Nabopolassar founded the Neo-Babylonian empire, the first time Babylon had been independent since Hamurabbi 1,000 years earlier. He hella idolized that “lost golden age” and had excavations of old ruined temples done. Statues of gods thousands of years old were uncovered and displayed prominently in the “modern” temples of the day.
