Was Hittites the ruler after Hammurabi?

Answer 1

The first group to rule after Hammurabi was Hittites.

Answer 2

Hammurabi was the Amorite leader who is best known for his famous laws, the Code of Hammurabi. Far to the north lived the Hittites, powerful warriors whose capital city was Hattusa. This large city was 3,000 feet above sea level and was protected by a ring of mountains and a stone wall thought to have been 26 feet thick.

The Hittites were the first people to use a treaty to settle a dispute. Hittite King Hattusili III signed a treaty with Egyptian King Ramses II in 1284 B.C. In this historic treaty, both civilizations agreed not to attack each other and to protect each other if attacked by another civilization. The Hittites were an Ancient Anatolian people who established an empire at Hattusa in north-central Anatolia around the 18th century BC. This empire reached its height during the mid-14th century BC under Suppiluliuma I, when it encompassed an area that included most of Asia Minor as well as parts of the northern Levant and Upper Mesopotamia. After c. 1180 BC, the empire came to an end during the Bronze Age collapse, splintering into several independent "Neo-Hittite" city-states, some of which survived until the 8th century BC.

There were Hittites living as a group with the Babylons.
