I believe they were the same city via legends / stories and 1K years "between them" was inserted. They are supposedly fifty miles or so apart, in a straight line.
When a city is looted or destroyed (as Bagdad was supposedly many times) the survivors often go nearby to found another city.
official story
"In ancient times, the two cities were much closer in a practical sense because the Euphrates River shifted its course over the centuries, and the region was more densely networked with canals. Babylon was already in decline and largely abandoned by the time Baghdad was founded in 762 CE as the new Abbasid capital, but the builders of Baghdad deliberately placed the new city within the same rich agricultural and trade zone that had made Babylon powerful millennia earlier."

Black also did a book on IBM and how Germans keep track of their prisoners via an IBM numbering system.
Edwin Black, the investigative journalist and historian (his last name is indeed Black). He's best known for IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance Between Nazi Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation (2001), which meticulously documents how IBM's punch-card technology and Hollerith machines were used by the Nazis to identify, track, and manage Jewish populations, concentration camp prisoners, and the broader logistics of the Holocaust. The book draws on extensive archival research from the U.S., Germany, and elsewhere, showing IBM's ongoing business dealings with the Third Reich even after the U.S. entered the war.
