Before I left for Iraq, I grabbed the document that was for the purpose of telling the world about the corruption. It was written in Akkadian, the language of Babylon. And in case you are wondering, it can be translated.
When I finally got to Iraq, I went to a small market in Baghdad to purchase a small shovel to make it look as if I was truly digging there. Little did they all know I would be breaking an ancient spell to save the world.
I then hired a taxi to the site of Babylon, a hundred and tree kilometers south of Baghdad. My ancestor, the survivor, had known a small amount of witchcraft, enough to cast a spell on the site so that no one found it before it's time. Everyone in my family had known the reversal, but I was the only one left.
I asked the taxi driver to drop me off three kilometers away from the site, in the site of the outer cover of Babylon. This was the place that was currently considered Babylon, because at that time no one that was not born in Babylon could enter the true Babylon, where all the inventions of Babylon flourished and caused corruption.
I then walked the next three kilometers to Babylon, where I cast the reversal, causing the remains of Babylon to be revealed.
The site was covered in the remains of the bases of buildings, not at all unlike those that are made today.
I then took a million photos with my phone camera, including some of the document. Then I walked back to the taxi and asked the driver to take me to the nearest newspaper headquarters.
