Best Answer

The rivers and canals of Babylon gave merchants and traders easy access to trade transport by means of water. In early times, the Babylonians could build ships, and even navigate them from Eridu to Dilmum. Caravans of asses or donkeys also carried exports into Elam and to other countries east of the Tigris, and north into Armenia and Syria. To the west, the caravans headed towards southern Arabia, Egypt, and Sinai. The reason why Babylon became such a trade city was because of its convenient positioning on the Euphrates River. The Euphrates was the route by which the products of India and Arabia found their way to Europe and the islands of the Mediterranean.
