In the 18th century B.C., Hammurabi, the king of the ancient Babylonian kingdom, unified the two rivers and established a powerful slave state, with the city of Babylon as its capital. The reign of Hammurabi was the most powerful period of ancient Babylon, and the city of Babylon was built beautifully and spectacularly.

Babylon (Arabic: ,bābil; Akkadian: bābili (m); 1] Sumerian Logograms:

[1] Hebrew: ,bāel; [1] Ancient Greek: babyln ) was originally a city of Semitic Akkadians.

Its history dates back to the Akkadian Empire, about 4,300 years ago.

It started out as a low-level administrative center. It was only in 1894 BC that Babylon became an independent city-state at the hands of the Amorites dynasty founded by settlers. The Babylonians were relatively more ruled by other immigrant dynasties in their history, such as the Kassites, Armeans, Elamites, and Chaldeans.

The Assyrians, their compatriots in the valley of the two rivers, also ruled over Babylon.

The ruins of the city of Babylon were discovered in Hilla, in present-day Babylon Province, Iraq, about eighty-five kilometers south of Baghdad. The site of this world-famous city is located on the fertile Mesopotamian plain between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and all that remains remains are large mounds and fragments of broken adobe buildings. Built along the Euphrates River, the city is divided into two parts by the left and right banks, with steep embankments to protect against seasonal flooding.

Extant historical sources show that Babylon was originally a small town that flourished in the early 2000 BC. When the First Babylonian Dynasty of the Amorites arose in 1894 BC, it gained independence as a small city-state. Babylon claimed itself to be the Sumerian-Akkadian city-state:

Successor of Eridu. Although it was a small city at the time, it eclipsed the "holy city" of the Mesopotamian plains, Nippur. It was also around this time, around the 18th century BCE, that an Amoritan king named Hammurabi first established a short-lived Babylonian Empire.

From this time onwards, the southern part of the Mesopotamian plain was known as Babylonia, and the Babylonian cities grew in size and became more and more majestic.

The Babylonian Empire quickly collapsed with its demise. After that, Babylon spent a long time under the rule of the Assyrians, Kassites, and Ilantes. After being destroyed and rebuilt by the Assyrians, Babylon became the seat of the Neo-Babylonian kingdom between 608 BC and 539 BC.

This empire was founded by the Chaldeans from the southeastern corner of the Mesopotamian plain. The last king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire was an Assyrian from the northern part of the Mesopotamian plain. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Babylon was ruled by the Achaemenid Empire, the Seleucid Empire, the Parthian Empire, the Roman Empire, and the Sassanid Empire after its decline.

1.Early Sumerian Dynasty (Sumerian City-State Era) The earliest creators of the civilization of the Two Rivers Valley were the Sumerians from the eastern mountains around 4000 BC. In 3,000 BC, the Sumerians established numerous city-states in the valley of the two rivers.

Judging from the historical data that has been obtained from archaeological discoveries, from 2900 BC, the Sumerian city-states entered an era of "kingdoms competing for hegemony". The larger cities are Elidu, Kish, Lagersh, Uruk, your, and Nipur. 2.

The Akkadians, a branch of the Semitic people, entered the valley of the Two Rivers around 2500 BC. By the time the Akkadians entered the valley of the Two Rivers, the Sumerian city-state civilization had come to an end, and the struggle between the city-states was extremely fierce. Babylon began as little more than an unknown small city on the banks of the Euphrates River.

In one of the Akkadian inscriptions, many conquered cities are listed, among which are the names of Babylon. King Sargon of Akkad unified the Sumerian region and established a centralized monarchy, ending the Sumerian city-state era. The Sumerian-Akkad era begins.

Around 2191 B.C., the Guti people destroyed Akkad, ruled southern Mesopotamia, and established the Gutium regime. End of the Sumerian-Akkadian era in southern Mesopotamia. 3.

Sumerian Revival and the Third Dynasty of your In the later period of the Akkadian Kingdom, the centralization of power tended to collapse, and the barbarian Kuti invaded and destroyed the Akkad Kingdom, but the rule of the Kuti was not stable, so that the Sumerian city-states were briefly revived. Among them, Utu-Hengal, the king of the city-state of Uruk, drove out the Kuti. Utuhegar asked Urnham to guard the city of your.

However, ur-nammu established his capital in your in c. 2113 BC, unified Mesopotamia, established the Third Dynasty of your (2111 BC to 2003 BC), and dominated the city-states of southern Mesopotamia during his reign, and Urnham began to call himself "King of Sumer and Akkad". Around 2006 B.C., the Elamites, the Quti, the Amorites, and the Subari combined forces to defeat your. 4.

The Rise of the Kingdom of Ancient Babylon In the mid-19th century BCE, the Amorites from the Syrian steppes destroyed the Third Dynasty of your of the Sumerians and established the Kingdom of Babylon with the city of Babylon as its capital. The Amorites were also called Babylonians for this reason. The Babylonians inherited the Sumerian and Akkadian civilizations and carried them forward, developing Mesopotamian civilization to its zenith.

People like to use the word "Babylon" to summarize the ancient civilization of the two river valleys, which is enough to show the brilliant achievements created by the Babylonian civilization and its charm to the world.
