This vast cardboard and stone Babylon with its 70 metre high walls, 1600 metres of corridor and 16,000 extras, was the vision of D.W. Griffith, the father of the North American film industry. Griffith filmed some sequences from a hot air balloon, such was the scale of the set. Despite this grandeur, the film made a heavy loss. After filming, demolition of the set was deemed too costly and it was left to time to take care of it. However, parts of it survived for nearly a decade, before collapsing.
