Esarhaddon begins in the year of his accession to rebuild Babylon, including the well-known Esagila and the Ekur at Nippur (structures sometimes identified with Tower of Babel) and attempts to appease the restive Babylonians.
The statues of the Babylonian gods are restored and returned to the city.
