Dadams:

The '''Babylonians''' or Amorites were the people who conquered Mesopotamia in 1800 BC, from their established their capital at [[Babylon]].

== Formation of Kingdom ==
Great leader Hammurabi (1792-1750 BC) made Babylon the capital and center of his kingdom. Babylon, centered on the Euphrates river in modern day free Iraq, was one of the largest cities in the world at its time. It people drew much of their beliefs from the [[Sumerians]]. <ref>http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/archaeology/sites/middle_east/babylon.html</ref>

== Culture and Beliefs ==

Babylonian religious belief is centered on a creation story, described in 6 tablets of stone hieroglyphics with a seventh glorifying the work done by God. Due to their proximity to the early People of God, perhaps this is an echo of a shared memory of the true creation. <ref>http://www.dreamscape.com/morgana/babylon.htm</ref>

Dadams: added effects of popish worship upon protestant team

'''Sunderland''' is a port city on the north-east coast of England, formerly famous as a shipbuilding and coal exporting centre, and now for the manufacture of motor vehicles for Nissan. The city's motto is ''Nil Desperandum Auspice Deo'' (Don't Despair, Trust In God.) The people of Sunderland are sometimes known as ''Mackems''.

In a clear show of God's will, the growing support for Sunderland's originally Anglican football team by Catholics from Ireland <ref>ahttp://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,2073426,00.html</ref>, and their manager, a Catholic, former Celtic player Roy Keane's insistence on signing a growing number of Catholic players <ref>http://www.eleven-a-side.com/acrossthewater/irish_soccer_detail.asp?newsid=29195</ref>, has led to a dramatic decline in the team's fortunes <ref>http://www.statto.com/teams/resultstable.php?id=489&yr=137</ref>.
