For nearly two hundred years, much of Asia was under
the rule of the Seleucid dynasty. Despite the family's
origins tracing back to Macedonia and its members
presenting themselves as Macedonian kings par
excellence, the sheer diversity of their subjects meant
they needed to contend with the many non-Greek
cultures that they now ruled over. The greatest body of
evidence for the Seleucids accommodating to local
traditions can be found in Mesopotamia, more specifically
in Babylon. Though it had been centuries since the last
native ruler, Babylon and its elite would hold great sway in the imperial ideology of their new Seleucid masters.
Babylon is where the founder Seleucus I Nicator first took
power, and Mesopotamia remained a heartland of the
empire until it was captured by the Parthians in the late
second century BC.
From the earliest days of the dynasty's history, Babylonia
was integral to the rise of the Seleucids. Alexander the
Great had designated it as the capital of his newly
conquered empire down to his untimely death in 323, and
the city is where the standing regent Perdiccas ran
operations until his own murder just a few years later in
321. As a reward for taking part in the assassination,
Seleucus was granted governorship of Babylonia. His
position was soon threatened by the ambitious Antigonus
Monopthalmus, forcing Seleucus and his family to flee to
the court of Ptolemy I in Egypt in 315. He was eventually
able to return in the spring of 311, but faced off against
Antigonid forces who besieged the city and ravaged the
countryside for two years. Once the "Babylonian War"
was brought to an end, Seleucus would take the title of
king in 306, and Mesopotamia was to serve as the
foundation of his burgeoning empire. The area was badly
affected during the fighting, but Babylonia was exempt
from any further devastation as later wars were contained
to the eastern Mediterranean. In time it would prosper
once again, now under the patronage of Seleucus and
his son Antiochus I Soter (r. 281-261), and it is during
Antiochus' reign that we find our earliest and strongest
evidence of Seleucid-Babylonian accommodation.
In the excavations of Borsippa, located 18 km southwest
of Babylon, a barrel-shaped piece of clay with Akkadian
cuneiform was discovered under the Temple of Ezida,
devoted to the Mesopotamian god Nabû. It bears a
striking similarity to the famous "Cyrus Cylinder", a
deposit made in the Temple of Esagila under the
authority of Cyrus the Great of Persia in 539 BC. While
often misleadingly described as the "first bill of human
rights", its main purpose is to broadcast the legitimacy of
Cyrus as the new ruler of Babylon. The cylinder of Ezida
was placed during the reign of Antiochus I in 268 to
celebrate the rebuilding of the temple, which was likely
damaged during the Babylonian War, and operates under
very similar principles:
I am Antiochus, the great king, the legitimate king, the
king of the world, king of Babylon, king of all countries,
the caretaker of the temples Esagila and Ezida, the first
son of King Seleucus, the Macedonian, king of Babylon
When I conceived the idea of (re)constructing Esagila
and Ezida, I formed with my august hands (when I was
still) in the country Hatti [Syria] the (first) brick for Esagila
and Ezida with the finest oil and brought (it with me) for
the laying of the foundation of Esagila and Ezida.
Other tablets record Antiochus' activities in Babylon, such
as his sacrifice to the moon god Sin and the rebuilding of
the temple of Esagila, where he ended up using teams of
elephants to clear much of the ruins and debris. While
providing a sacrifice at Esagila, the king is said to have
tripped and tumbled to the ground, a bad omen by any
estimation. It seems not to have affected him much, and he performed "a Greek sacrifice" to counteract any
negative energy this may have incurred. Through his
maintenance and patronage of the temples, Antiochus is
fulfilling his duties as the legitimate king of Babylon, and
the titles employed in the cylinder ("king of the world",
"great king" etc.) are directly taken from earlier
Babylonian, Persian, and Assyrian models. Queen
Stratonice I also receives special honors on the cylinder:
her titles in Akkadian are normally reserved for
goddesses, and her name is translated into A?tartanikku
("Astarte-fornicating").
This policy of accommodation and respect of the local
traditions would have served Antiochus well as he sought
to consolidate his father's empire, and it might also be
reflected in his personal staff. Bêl-re'u?unu, better known
by his Greek name Berossus, was a Babylonian official
serving in in the court of Seleucus and Antiochus I. He is
most famous as the author of the "Babyloniaca", a history
of Babylonia written in Greek that is now lost, but partially
survives in fragments and quotations.[9] While the style is
evocative of authors like Herodotus, it catalogued the
mythology and traditions of Mesopotamia. Berossus may
have been compelled to write it in order to legitimize
Babylonian culture for a Greek audience, or to act as a
handbook for Antiochus, to whom the book is dedicated.
Antiochus was born and raised in Babylon, having never
laid eyes on Macedonia, and so we might not need to
view his apparent affinity for local traditions as a matter of
pragmatism. The line in the Antiochus Cylinder referring
to his father as "King Seleucus, the Macedonian" is
unusual, since it can either be interpreted as Antiochus
stressing his own Greco-Macedonian ancestry or an
attempt to distinguish himself as a king reared in the
Babylonian model.

Babylon is where the founder Seleucus I Nicator first took
power, and Mesopotamia remained a heartland of the
empire until it was captured by the Parthians in the late
second century BC.
From the earliest days of the dynasty's history, Babylonia
was integral to the rise of the Seleucids. Alexander the
Great had designated it as the capital of his newly
conquered empire down to his untimely death in 323, and
the city is where the standing regent Perdiccas ran
operations until his own murder just a few years later in
321. As a reward for taking part in the assassination,
Seleucus was granted governorship of Babylonia. His
position was soon threatened by the ambitious Antigonus
Monopthalmus, forcing Seleucus and his family to flee to
the court of Ptolemy I in Egypt in 315. He was eventually
able to return in the spring of 311, but faced off against
Antigonid forces who besieged the city and ravaged the
countryside for two years. Once the "Babylonian War"
was brought to an end, Seleucus would take the title of
king in 306, and Mesopotamia was to serve as the
foundation of his burgeoning empire. The area was badly
affected during the fighting, but Babylonia was exempt
from any further devastation as later wars were contained
to the eastern Mediterranean. In time it would prosper
once again, now under the patronage of Seleucus and
his son Antiochus I Soter (r. 281-261), and it is during
Antiochus' reign that we find our earliest and strongest
evidence of Seleucid-Babylonian accommodation.
In the excavations of Borsippa, located 18 km southwest
of Babylon, a barrel-shaped piece of clay with Akkadian
cuneiform was discovered under the Temple of Ezida,
devoted to the Mesopotamian god Nabû. It bears a
striking similarity to the famous "Cyrus Cylinder", a
deposit made in the Temple of Esagila under the
authority of Cyrus the Great of Persia in 539 BC. While
often misleadingly described as the "first bill of human
rights", its main purpose is to broadcast the legitimacy of
Cyrus as the new ruler of Babylon. The cylinder of Ezida
was placed during the reign of Antiochus I in 268 to
celebrate the rebuilding of the temple, which was likely
damaged during the Babylonian War, and operates under
very similar principles:
I am Antiochus, the great king, the legitimate king, the
king of the world, king of Babylon, king of all countries,
the caretaker of the temples Esagila and Ezida, the first
son of King Seleucus, the Macedonian, king of Babylon
When I conceived the idea of (re)constructing Esagila
and Ezida, I formed with my august hands (when I was
still) in the country Hatti [Syria] the (first) brick for Esagila
and Ezida with the finest oil and brought (it with me) for
the laying of the foundation of Esagila and Ezida.
Other tablets record Antiochus' activities in Babylon, such
as his sacrifice to the moon god Sin and the rebuilding of
the temple of Esagila, where he ended up using teams of
elephants to clear much of the ruins and debris. While
providing a sacrifice at Esagila, the king is said to have
tripped and tumbled to the ground, a bad omen by any
estimation. It seems not to have affected him much, and he performed "a Greek sacrifice" to counteract any
negative energy this may have incurred. Through his
maintenance and patronage of the temples, Antiochus is
fulfilling his duties as the legitimate king of Babylon, and
the titles employed in the cylinder ("king of the world",
"great king" etc.) are directly taken from earlier
Babylonian, Persian, and Assyrian models. Queen
Stratonice I also receives special honors on the cylinder:
her titles in Akkadian are normally reserved for
goddesses, and her name is translated into A?tartanikku
("Astarte-fornicating").
This policy of accommodation and respect of the local
traditions would have served Antiochus well as he sought
to consolidate his father's empire, and it might also be
reflected in his personal staff. Bêl-re'u?unu, better known
by his Greek name Berossus, was a Babylonian official
serving in in the court of Seleucus and Antiochus I. He is
most famous as the author of the "Babyloniaca", a history
of Babylonia written in Greek that is now lost, but partially
survives in fragments and quotations.[9] While the style is
evocative of authors like Herodotus, it catalogued the
mythology and traditions of Mesopotamia. Berossus may
have been compelled to write it in order to legitimize
Babylonian culture for a Greek audience, or to act as a
handbook for Antiochus, to whom the book is dedicated.
Antiochus was born and raised in Babylon, having never
laid eyes on Macedonia, and so we might not need to
view his apparent affinity for local traditions as a matter of
pragmatism. The line in the Antiochus Cylinder referring
to his father as "King Seleucus, the Macedonian" is
unusual, since it can either be interpreted as Antiochus
stressing his own Greco-Macedonian ancestry or an
attempt to distinguish himself as a king reared in the
Babylonian model.

For nearly two hundred years, much of Asia was under
the rule of the Seleucid dynasty. Despite the family's
origins tracing back to Macedonia and its members
presenting themselves as Macedonian kings par
excellence, the sheer diversity of their subjects meant
they needed to contend with the many non-Greek
cultures that they now ruled over. The greatest body of
evidence for the Seleucids accommodating to local
traditions can be found in Mesopotamia, more specifically
in Babylon. Though it had been centuries since the last
native ruler, Babylon and its elite would hold great sway in the imperial ideology of their new Seleucid masters.

Scientists store entire human genome on ‘memory crystal’ that could survive billions of years
By Rosa Rahimi, CNN. Published 7:53 AM EDT, Fri September 20, 2024
The crystal features a visual key, intended to explain what it contains to whoever finds it. University of Southampton/PA
Scientists in the United Kingdom have stored the entire human genome on a “5D memory crystal,” in the hope that it could be used in the future as a blueprint to bring humanity back from extinction.
The crystal, which was developed by a team of researchers at the University of Southampton’s Optoelectronics Research Centre, could also be used to create a record of plant and animal species faced with extinction.
It can hold up to 360 terabytes of information for billions of years and can withstand extreme conditions, including freezing, fires, direct impact force, cosmic radiation and temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees Celsius, the university said in a press statement published Thursday.
In 2014, the crystal was awarded the Guinness World Record for “most durable digital storage material.” Kazansky’s team used ultra-fast lasers to inscribe the human genome data into voids as small as 20 nanometers (a nanometer is about one-billionth of a meter).
They describe the data storage on the crystal as 5D because the information is translated into five different dimensions of its nanostructures — their height, length, width, orientation and position.
“The 5D memory crystal opens up possibilities for other researchers to build an everlasting repository of genomic information from which complex organisms like plants and animals might be restored should science in the future allow,” said Peter Kazansky, a professor of optoelectronics, who led the team at Southampton.
The team had to consider who – or what – would retrieve the information, so far off into the future.
It could be an intelligence (species or machine) – or it could be found in a future so distant that no frame of reference would exist for it. To help whoever finds it, the researchers included a visual key.
“The visual key inscribed on the crystal gives the finder knowledge of what data is stored inside and how it could be used,” said Kazansky.
“Their work is super impressive,” said Thomas Heinis, who leads research on DNA storage at Imperial College London and was not involved in the study. However, he says questions remain about how such data could be read in the future.
“What Southampton presents probably has a higher durability, however, this begs the question: what for? Future generations? Sure, but how will they know how to read the crystal? How will they know how to build the device to read the crystal? Will the device be available in hundreds of years?” he added. “I can barely connect my 10-year-old iPod and listen to what I listened back then.”
For now, the crystal is stored in the Memory of Mankind archive, a time capsule within a salt cave in Austria.
In 2018, Kazansky and his team used the memory crystal technology to store Isaac Asimov’s “Foundation” trilogy of science fiction books, which were then launched into space aboard a Tesla Roadster. The technology has also been used to store major documents from human history, including the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights and the Magna Carta. Earlier this year, scientists revealed a plan to safeguard Earth’s species in a cryogenic biorepository on the moon, intended to save species in the event of a disaster on our home planet.

Consider the dialogue below:
David: Hi, Emily! Have you ever thought about the impact of technology on our daily lives?
Emily: Hi, David! Yes, I think about it often. Technology has certainly made our lives easier in many ways, but it also has its downsides.
David: Absolutely. For example, smartphones have made communication much faster, but at the same time, people seem to be more disconnected in real life.
Emily: I agree. It's ironic, isn't it? We have more ways to connect, yet it sometimes feels like we're more isolated.
David: That's true. Do you think there's a way to find a balance between using technology and maintaining real-world connections?
Emily: I believe there is. Perhaps it's about setting boundaries, like limiting screen time or having tech-free days to spend more quality time with family and friends.
David: That's a good point. It might also be helpful to be more mindful about how we use technology.
Emily: Definitely. Being conscious of our usage can help us use technology more purposefully rather than letting it control us.
Based on the dialogue, which of the following statements best captures the main theme of their conversation?
