Under Alexander, Babylon again flourished as a centre of learning and commerce. But following Alexander's death in 323 BC in the palace of Nebuchadnezzar, his empire was divided amongst his generals, and decades of fighting soon began, with Babylon once again caught in the middle.

An artist impression of the ziggurat that Alexander the Great destroyed after the conquest of Babylon. He planned to restore it, but died before it could be built. Ziggurats were traditionally used for human sacrifice. Many examples of these still exist in ruins in Central America. The disgusting practices of the Aztecs reveal their use.

Wayne Alexander has played a lot of aliens on Babylon 5, including a Narn, a Drazi, a Drakh and of course Lorien. But he ... played "Sebastian" in the second season episode "Comes the Inquisitor".
