Babylon was captured in 539 BC by Cyrus the Great, the founder of the Achaemenid Empire. He led a successful military campaign against the city, which was then under the rule of Nabonidus.

The Babylonian Empire was the most powerful state in the ancient world after the fall of the Assyrian empire (612 BCE). Its capital Babylon was beautifully adorned by king Nebuchadnezzar, who erected several famous buildings. Even after the Babylonian Empire had been overthrown by the Persian king Cyrus the Great (539), the city itself remained an important cultural center.
Babylon faced numerous enemies throughout its history, including the Assyrians, Persians, and Medes. The Assyrian Empire often sought to expand its territory at Babylon's expense, leading to conflicts and eventual domination. The rise of the Persian Empire under Cyrus the Great ultimately resulted in the fall of Babylon in 539 BCE, as Persia conquered the city and integrated it into its vast empire. Additionally, internal strife and revolts weakened Babylon, making it more vulnerable to external threats.
