   1 well that was a surprise and quite a relief as i said before no one really knows where the hanging
   2 gardens of babylon were located and i dont think we would have had a chance of finding the next
   3 chapter if that was where it was buried but it seems that tacitus had a better idea the babylonian
   4 goddess of love and war was ishtar and the ishtar gate from babylon was one of the original seven
   5 wonders of the world it was later replaced by the lighthouse of alexandria so i am not sure why
   6 tacitus used both but maybe because he didnt know where the hanging gardens were either or maybe he
   7 just wanted to confuse the uninitiated and to add an extra layer of secrecy via confusion abit like
   8 he does by piling up ciphers in these later chapters anyway we are in luck the ishtar gate now lives
   9 in the pergamon museum in berlin and i happen to have a pass to the full collection i am not sure
  10 how they will feel about us dismantling it to try to find chapter seven but if we explain what is in
  11 it i suspect the curators curiosity will overcome his natural protectiveness perhaps there we will
  12 finally unlock the secret of the ixth legion that leaves the question of how we deal with midas and
  13 maryam has a clever idea we should let the collector deal with them the russian mafia can be pretty
  14 ruthless if they feel betrayed and she has suggested away we might make the thieves fallout it is a
  15 cunning plan and i think i can help
