Large parts of the walls of Babylon were reconstructed by Saddam Hussein's Ba'athist government. I can never decide what I think about this. I think they also did a ziggurat and reconstructed it wrong, which is annoying. OTOH it's all nice to look at. It's also kind of misleading though because people don't realise it's reconstructions and possibly inaccurate. (And there are bricks here and there with messages on about how Saddam is the second coming of Nebuchadnezzar, but that's a detail.)
