Nebuchadnezzar II reestablished the Babylonian Empire from under Persian rule. He then went on to build the Hanging Gardens, one of the seven wonders of the world. Before Babylon had been occupied by the Persians, Hammurabi of Babylon established a written code of laws, which are the earliest transcribed laws known to man (Hammurabi's Code). Babylon also played an important role as the initiator of the rebellion against the Persians,as all of the surrounding Mesopotamian states and city-states looked to Babylon for guidance. Babylon had long resisted Persian rule, even after the Persians devastated the city.Hammurabi believed that his laws were set fair because in his opinion he thought that if someone injured another he shall receive the same injury in return.
