Absolutely brilliant! The first place I visited was the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, having recently spent 6 months just next door to them. I don't know if it is an issue with how these placemarks translate across maps but where you are after is actually:
32°32'40.85"N
44°25'18.07"E
( I wish I knew how to post my placemark!)

From what I can see your placemark is near the centre of al Hilla, the city adjacent to the Babylon ruins.

The coordinates above are next to the Great Procession Road of Babylon; the old ruins are to the left and the area that Saddam rebuilt is to the south (looking far more pristine than the actual ruins).

Saddam copied the Arabic of the original bricks and stamped on his bricks (which, by the way, he placed directly over the existing ruins) something along the lines of "Whereas the great King Nebuchadnezzar built this place, I, the great King Saddam rebuilt it"
