I haven't seen the movie, but it caught my attention that part of it was set in Ancient Babylon. I have a certain particular interest in that city, and I've noticed over the years that it comes up very, very often in many different contexts. On the one hand you have this movie, and way on the other end you have Bill Cooper with a whole series of shows called "Mystery Babylon".

For all the mention of it, I've noticed that basically no one cares to research why that one ancient place might have such outsized modern cultural import.
