Babylon

capital city of Babylonia and an archaeological site in modern-day Iraq

🇮🇶 Iraq · 32.5229, 44.4241

Babylon is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia article of 1 production — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on. 1 video game is also set here.

1 place inside Babylon has a page of its own — listed below. Everything shot at it is already named above, recorded against Babylon as well.

“"Vaaji Vaaji" was picturised with an intention to showcase a Babylonian palace setting when Shankar requested Tharani to show "a palace with lots of colour".”

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Babylon as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Filming locations inside Babylon

1 place inside Babylon, with a page of its own. Every production shot at it is already listed above, because Wikidata records it against Babylon too.

Named here by Babylon’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Babylon, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

• Eternals 2021

  “Eternals (2021) depicts Babylon on its greatest extent and is shown to be protected and aided in its development by the titular species team.” Wikipedia

Set here

Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Babylon, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement — two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
