Project Babylon: Real 1:1 City of Babylon

Minecraft Maps
WELCOME TO 
This is a project of huge proportions. Babylon was the capital of Mesopotamia (Also known as the Babylonian Empire) around 2000 BC. During that time, the arts flourished and it became one of the biggest cities in the world.
OUR GOAL: Reproduce the city of Babylon (Circa. 2000 BC) on a 1:1 scale
A short refresher history course on Babylon
Babylon was at first a small town which had sprung up by the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC. The town flourished and attained independence with the rise of the First Amorite Babylonian Dynasty in 1894 BC. Claiming to be the successor of the ancient city of Eridu, Babylon eclipsed Nippur as the "holy city" of Mesopotamia around the time an Amorite king named Hammurabi first created the short lived Babylonian Empire; this quickly dissolved upon his death and Babylon spent long periods under Assyrian, Kassite and Elamite domination. Babylon again became the seat of the Neo-Babylonian Empire from 608 to 539 BC which was founded by Chaldeans and whose last king was an Assyrian. The Hanging Gardens of Babylonwere one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. After the fall of Babylon it came under the rules of the Achaemenid, Seleucid, Parthian, Roman and Sassanid empires.
What are the proportions of this project?
Although we are still examining our maps, we have determined that this project will have approximate dimensions of 5000 by 2500 blocks, approximately. That's without counting outlying towns and villages.
After poring over these maps for days, we have decided that we will need a lot of help with this project. Being only two builders, mechris445 (me), and Astinax (Both part of the Whiplash Building Team), we are calling on you to come help us. Starting tomorrow, Stickmanbrad will be hosting this map on his server (HyperSG: http://hypersg.co.uk), and you will be able to come build and improve upon it. We beg you, do not try to troll or grief, since we have instant rollback for anything you do...
WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!! Thanks for reading this short information post.
