# 2000 BCE – [[Babylonia]]n city of Baghdadu in existence (approximate date).<ref name="brit1910" />{{Failed verification|date=November 2020|reason=Article is relevant but does not say anything about a city called Baghdadu or its age. Have been unable to locate any other sources that verify a city called Baghdadu ever even existed. What would be more useful here would be references to the more ancient cities that existed in close proximity to what would later become Baghdad, e.g. Babylon and Ctesiphon.}}
