The Babylonian civilization is generally considered to have begun around 1894 BCE, with the establishment of the city of Babylon. It reached its peak during the reign of King Hammurabi in the 18th century BCE. The Babylonian Empire eventually declined, and the city of Babylon fell to the Persian Empire under Cyrus the Great in 539 BCE, marking the end of Babylonian political independence.
