<p>On behalf of the residents of AW Babylon, we would like to welcome you to our community. We have a friendly bunch of people here who would love to hear from you. Please leave a post on the <a href=http://www.ancientworlds.net/1826> Welcome Babylonians </a> topic telling us a little about yourself, your specific interests or how you got involved in Babylonian history. We would also like to encourage you to join the informal roleplay in The Kash Bowl and Library, a combination <a href=http://www.ancientworlds.net/28316> tavern </a>and excellent source of <a href=http://siduri.tripod.com/Library_of_Babylon.html>Mesopotamian references</a>. <p>We've all put together a welcome basket with some of our finest foods: flatbread, butter, cheese, onions, date syrup, date wine, lettuce, cucumbers, mustard and beet greens, and water cress. And from the orchards of Assyria, we've brought you some apples, pomegranates, figs, almonds, cherries, pears, plums, and pistachios. <p align=center><img src=http://www.babyloniangal.com/files/babylon/gift.gif> <p>If you have any questions, feel free to ask one of Babylon's scribes <a href=http://www.ancientworlds.net/member/ApilSin/Apiladey> (Apiladey ApilSin</a> , <a href=http://www.ancientworlds.net./member/Enkidu/Leah> Leah Enkidu, </a> and <a href=http://www.ancientworlds.net/member/Siduri/Marie>Marie Siduri </a> ) or any of the deities, particularly Babylon's own <a href=http://www.ancientworlds.net/member/Nebuchadnezzar/jojo>jojo Nebuchadnezzar</a> .
