Who is the Babylon of the book of Revelation?
Babylon was the first religious/political "government system of man" reestablished on earth following the flood. It was the core system and pattern from which all the empires that followed it down through the centuries were modeled.
The Bible reveals "four main world-ruling empires" that were to rule over man... until the Kingdom of God comes to remove and replace them at the end of God's plan. The first was Babylon, which was followed by the Persian Empire, then the Greco/Macedonian Empire, then the Roman Empire.
The last three empires, each in turn, borrowed from the model of the Babylonian "Mystery Religion," customs and traditions [and from each other]... which in turn developed into the "system of government" that still rules the world, today -- a system that is STILL, basically, BABYLON!
That's the "Babylon of Revelation"... the ancient combined systems of the past governments of man that CONTINUES TO RULE OVER MAN... and shall continue to rule the earth until Christ returns.
While this world, blinded and deceived by its god, Satan the Devil, sees the Bible as a "religious book" [and to some as a book of myths and fanciful fables]... the real message of the Bible that mankind keeps missing is of God's GOOD NEWS about His COMING KINGDOM!
"...a Child is born to us, a Son is given to us. And THE GOVERNMENT WILL REST ON HIS SHOULDERS... His ever-expanding, PEACEFUL GOVERNMENT WILL NEVER END..." (Isa.9:6-7 NLT New Living Translation)
That's the wonderful GOOD NEWS[gospel]... and un-believed... message of the Bible. It's not a "religious statement" -- it's a POLITICAL ONE!
And the "Babylon of the book of Revelation" is the final generation of the "system of man's governments" that shall rule on the earth, just before Jesus Christ returns to earth with His army of angels, to SMASH THEM TO PIECES!
Even Daniel revealed, anciently, the GOOD NEWS [gospel] of God's coming Kingdom to King Nebuchadnezzar... the king of Babylon!
"...the God of heaven will set up a Kingdom that will never be destroyed; no one will ever conquer it. It will SHATTER ALL THESE KINGDOMS INTO NOTHINGNESS, but it will stand forever. That is the meaning of the Rock [Jesus Christ] cut from the Mountain by supernatural means, crushing to dust the statue of iron [Rome], bronze [Greece], silver [Persia], and gold [Babylon]. The Great God has shown your majesty WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. The dream is TRUE, and its meaning IS CERTAIN." (Dan.2:44-45 NLT)
The Bible reveals that Satan owns man's governments!
"...I will give you the glory of these kingdoms and authority over them - BECAUSE THEY ARE MINE TO GIVE TO ANYONE I PLEASE." (Luke 4:6 NLT)
God gave Adam and Eve [mankind] the earth in the beginning. And the first thing they did was "choose the wrong god to worship and obey"... and they sold themselves and their children into slavery to their god... into bondage to sin. That god was Satan the Devil: "...the great Dragon... that old Serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world..." (Rev.12:9 KJV).
And in that transaction between man and the god of this world... man's future systems of religion and government were structured after the design of their chosen god.
Babylon was that pattern... just like its god... evil, wicked, self-serving. Just like the unchanged, Satan-owned governments of man, today. The systems took on many different names over the centuries -- but the Babylonian system has been at the root of them all.
The Babylon of the book of Revelationis the prophesied "final Babylon-based government system of man" that shall rule on the earth before Jesus Christ returns to remove it, and Satan, before He establishes God's Kingdom on earth.

Where is Nebuchadnezzar buried?
Nebuchadnezzar II, the ancient Babylonian king, is believed to be buried in Babylon, near modern-day Hillah in Iraq. His burial site is thought to be within the ruins of the ancient city, although the exact location of his tomb has never been definitively identified. Historical accounts suggest that he may have been buried in a grand mausoleum, but archaeological evidence remains inconclusive.
I honestly don't have any idea what the answer to that is. Sorry, I'm wondering the same thing.

Dianne Concepcion of II-Abraham..When and by what ruler was there Babylonian empire established?
The answer is Hammurabi. Babylon also appears prominently in the biblical books of Daniel, Jeremiah, and Isaiah, among others, and, most notably, The Book of Revelation. It was these biblical references which sparked interest in Mesopotamianarchaeologyand the expedition by the German archaeologist Robert Koldewey who first excavated the ruins of Babylon in 1899 CE. Outside of the sinful reputation given it by the Bible, the city is known for its impressive walls and buildings, its reputation as a great seat of learning and culture, the formation of a code of law which pre-dates the Mosaic Law, and for the Hanging Gardens of Babylon which were man-made terraces of flora and fauna, watered by machinery, which were cited by Herodotus as one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Why holes are made in hanging banners and?
Holes are made in hanging banners to facilitate easy installation and secure attachment to display structures, such as poles or walls. These holes allow for the use of ropes, hooks, or zip ties to keep the banner taut and prevent it from flapping in the wind. Additionally, they help ensure the banner remains stable and visible, enhancing its effectiveness for advertising or informational purposes.

Where is the hagging garden of Babylon located?
Unfortunately we do not know.
As far as I know nobody has found the location of the famous Hanging Gardens. All that we can surmise from the historical record was that it used to exist in the city of Babylon (now Baghdad, Iraq). But as far as I know historians and archeologists have not found its whereabouts or ruins.
The Hanging Gardens were one of the seven world wonders of the ancient world. The only wonder of the ancient world still standing today is the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.
What is the temperature in ancient Canaan?
For the most part it is a land of sunshine and good weather with constant heavy dews.
January. (Shebat, New Year for trees). This is the coldest month, which brings with it dark and gloomy days and heavy rainfalls.
February. (Adar, almonds blooming). During this month rainy days and sunny days alternated frequently. This is why the Arabs would call this month "the one eyed" because it had a dark face on one side and a bright one on the other. They would also say "February has no bounds" and "the storms have the smell of summer in it." During this month the almond trees begin to blossom and the late barley seeds are sown.
March. (Nisan, beginning of barley harvest). This month had much sunshine but very heavy winds. The rains of March and April are known in Scripture as the "latter rains", which supplied nourishment to the barley and wheat crops before they are "white for harvest." Sometimes this month would receive the heaviest rainfall, the apricot and almond trees would show off their beauty.
April. (Iyyar, barley harvest). This was called the month of flowers, and it was the greenest and considered the most beautiful of all the months. Many times during this month the dry desert winds would blow in for three days at a time, melting the snow, and quickening the vegetation. During this month the harvesting begins in the Jordan valley and on the coastal plain. The fruit trees are in blossom and show their young foliage as the peach, pomegranate, olive, and many more.
May. (Sivan, wheat harvest). During the month of May the heat magnifies and the rain ceases for about five months. Because of the change in landscape of this hot month Jesus may have drawn His analogy "the grass withers and the flowers fade away." Also in May the harvesting begins in the plains and the lands, the spring fruits are ready, the green almonds, apricots, plums, and the vines are in blossom.
June. (Tammuz, harvesting). During June the land for the most part becomes barren and parched, and harvesting continues in the highlands.
July. (Av, grapes, figs and olives are ripe). During this month the intense summer heat is cooled by the westerly breezes and the commoners are busy on their threshing floors.
August. (Elul, vintage begins). This is the hottest month of the year, and even on the coast it is 90 degrees in the shade, and much hotter inland. During this month the grapes, figs, peaches, apples, and pears ripen.
September. (Tishri, early rains, plowing). During September the summer heat is intensified by the "siroccos" or desert winds, which can last much longer than the winds of spring. The farmers would dry their figs for winter and would make their grapes into raisins, syrup, and wine. The pomegranates and bananas would ripen. Usually around the end of September would be the first shower after a long summer drought.
October. (Heshvan, wheat, barley sowing). Farmers would be finishing with their grape and fig harvests, olives would be gathered, the fattened sheep would be slaughtered, and the sugarcane and dates would ripen, plowing would begin and the rains would loosen up the hard dry ground. During October were the heavier rains known in Scripture as "the former rains."
November. (Chislev, plowing and sowing). During this month there would be much plowing and sowing of wheat and barley.
December. (Tebeth, rainy winter months). December would bring heavier rains and cooler weather. Fruit trees would ripen with their oranges, citrons, and lemons. The vines would be pruned.
