Hammurabi, and the people of his empire, worshiped several gods. Their chief god was Marduk. The Babylonians built temples, called ziggurats, to worship their gods. The city of Babylon had an especially beautiful temple dedicated to Marduk. It may have looked something like this imagined construction. From the Enuma Elish, the epic poem of this ancient religion, we learn how Marduk becomes the chief god. (The link takes you to a picture of some of the tablets written in Cuneiform, in the Akkadian language.) The people eventually called him "Bel" which means "lord." From the epic creation poem Gilgamesh, we learn how man survived a Great Flood.

The two neighboring sister-states of ancient Mesopotamia competed for dominance and as such grew widely different in character. Assyria and Babylonia were parts of the ancient Mesopotamia. When the Assyrian empire fell in 612 B.C., Babylonia stepped in and became the most powerful state in ancient Mesopotamia. Assyria occupied a highland region north of Babylonia on the east side of the Tigris. Located at the eastern end of the Fertile Crescent, Babylonia was situated between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in what is now present day Iraq.

At first it was a settlement. Then it became a very large and powerful city-state that controlled much of Greece.
Bureaucracy in politics is a system of government in which state officials make important decisions rather then the elected representatives themselves.

Large states wanted as much representation as possible for their state. They wanted this so they could have a more powerful state. They at one point planned to secede from the union. They wanted to do this so they could be even more powerful.
