The Scythians' were part of the 1st babylonian revolt againts Assyrians. Nebuchadnezzer had liked the idea of the first but added to it to make it more dominant and then he had became the leader of the second babylonian empire two years after his father conqured Assyrian captial.

Answer 2

Wars did make Empires back them. Hammurabi (c. 1792-c. 1750 BC) is surely the most impressive and by now the best-known figure of the ancient Middle East of the first half of the 2nd millennium BC. He owes his posthumous reputation to the great stela into which the Code of Hammurabi was carved and indirectly also to the fact that his dynasty has made the name of Babylon famous for all time. In much the same way in which pre-Sargonic Kish exemplified the non-Sumerian area north of Sumer and Akkad lent its name to a country and a language, Babylon became the symbol of the whole country that the Greeks called Babylonia. This term is used anachronistically by Assyriologists as a geographic concept in reference to the period before Hammurabi. Originally the city's name was probably Babilla, which was reinterpreted in popular etymology as Bab-ili or Gate of the God.

Babylonia emerged when Hammurabi (1728 - 1686 BC) created an empire out of the territories of the former kingdoms of Sumer. Sumer was a city....that just grew and grew, and grew. They captured or took in other surrounding areas outside the city itself.
