The wars started before the place was named Babylon but the Babylonian Empire was the most powerful state in the ancient world after the fall of the Assyrian empire. The city of Babylon makes its first appearance in our sources after the fall of the Empire of the Third Dynasty of Ur, which had ruled the city states of the alluvial plain between the rivers Euphrates and Tigris for more than a century.

β 9y agoAccording to the Bible (Daniel 5:1-4) and confirmed by the Greek historian, Herodotus, in October of 539 BC, Belshazzar hosted a great feast inside Babylon, wining and dining a thousand exalted guests. Before the great feast, Cyrus' army had engaged the Babylonian army outside of the city's walls and routed them. However, Cyrus' army, led by his general, Gobryas, diverted the waters of the Euphrates, waded under the city's walls and entered Babylon without opposition. They were welcomed by the Babylonian citizens who detested Nabonidus and Belshazzar, the last king. The Persians found a dead king that night.
