Sennacherib destroyed the revolting Provence Babylon in 689 B.C.
He had left the siege of Judah to crush the uprising there, and now you know what happened to the hanging gardens of Babylon . After his army was decimated by plague while outside the walls of Jerusalem he was unable to destroy the city, as he had planned. That would have been the end of the state of Judah and the end of Judaism, and hence of Christianity and Islam.
Pity, reflecting the sorry state of world conflict that is a result of these three ideologies, that he did not succeed.
Question; would the world be better off if Sennacherib had destroyed that city? And, how would the world be different without Christianity, Judaism or Islam

I don't think anything would be that different at all. There would have been two different competing ideologies instead, and they would have fought each other. Maybe rape would be legal or we wouldn't have debates about abortion or murder would only be a minor crime or something.

i don't think it would have changed much at all.
Jerusalem fell many time in it's history ,Judah was concern
the Romans would still have gone there,
Judaism,Christianity and Islam would still
be at each others throats ,
one god three books and everyone fighting.

i believe in one god but religion but no religion

One difference is that Sennacherib had a fondness for burning, razing whatever area he was attacking until it was in ruins, and killing ALL the inhabitants and sowing the ground with salt.
If he had gotten his way you never would have heard of Islam OR Christianity. There never would have been a holocost. So many things would have been different.

By they way, the painting depicts a coupla of Sennacherib's henchmen holding his stretched out tongue while the king gouges his eyes out. Kind of hard to see but he is also had his chest flayed.
Nice people, the Assyrians.
