Subject: Ishtar Gate
[1]The Ishtar Gate was a massive entryway built in the ancient city of Babylon around 575 BCE by order of King Nebuchadnezzar II. Named for the goddess Ishtar—an ancient fertility deity and the most widely worshiped goddess in Babylon—the gate was more than 38 feet (12 m) high and adorned with images of 575 dragons and bulls in 13 rows. Through the gate ran the stone- and brick-paved Processional Way, lined with 120 brick lions. Where is there a reproduction of the Ishtar Gate?

Subject: The Square Root of Two
[1]Also known as Pythagoras' constant, the square root of 2 is a positive real number that, when multiplied by itself, results in the number 2. Though perhaps less well known than pi, the square root of 2 was probably the first known irrational number—a real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers—and approximations of it have been found on an ancient Babylonian tablet and in ancient Indian texts. To how many decimal places has the value of the square root of 2 been calculated?
