Yes, it is quite interesting in that sense. Are you aware how much the culture and religion of Babylon influenced the development of the Jewish religion, Slag? That's a whole story all to itself. I believe the Jews were held as slaves in Babylon for several 100 years, weren't they? That would have a huge effect on them as a people. Look how much Black Africans were changed by 2 or 3 hundred years of being transplanted into the USA, after all. African-Americans are now a cultural group all their own, quite distinct from their African ancestors.
