In October 539 BCE, the Persian king Cyrus took Babylon, the ancient capital of an oriental empire covering modern Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Israel.

How was Babylonian And Hittite Empires similar?
Both had Semitic people. Assyria was once in the Babylonia Empire. Both built great cities where culture and learning were valued.The Chaldean dynasty, founded by Nabopolassar when he became King of Babylon in 626 BC, was to rule over the empire they took over from the Assyrians when they defeated their army in 609 BC. This King had declared his son Nebuchadrezzar crown prince when the renovation of the palace was celebrated early in his reign. Father and son were together when the last Assyrian king surrendered at Harran.The difference could be based on climate. Since Assyria was a highland region, north of Babylonia, it had a more invigorating climate than Babylonia. Also the Assyrian culture was deeply indebted to that of the Babylonians, the Hittites and the Hurrians. The religion was adopted from the Babylonians except that Ashur the presiding god of the city of Ashur became the chief deity of Assyria. It was animistic nature worship.Well both of them were empires and they both had a kin that ruled them. Finally they both invented something. Babylonia invented roadways and Assyria invented the battering ram.
