The Babylonian Empire was the most powerful state in the ancient world after the fall of the Assyrian empire (612 BCE). Its capital Babylon was beautifully adorned by king Nebuchadnezzar, who erected several famous buildings. Even after the Babylonian Empire had been overthrown by the Persian king Cyrus the Great (539), the city itself remained an important cultural center.
The Babylonian empire fell when the Greeks fought them. The Greeks were a people with a long history of civilization. They imposed this civilization on all the people they conquered, building new cities with Greek civilizations. Babylon was no longer the principal city in the area and began to decline. As Babylon declined so did the Mesopotamian civilization.
The Chaldeans, also known as the Neo-Babylonian Empire, ruled Babylon for the longest period, from approximately 626 to 539 BCE. This era is marked by significant cultural and architectural achievements, including the construction of the Hanging Gardens and the revitalization of Babylon as a major center of trade and governance. The most famous ruler of this dynasty was Nebuchadnezzar II, who expanded the empire and made Babylon a symbol of power and wealth. The Chaldean rule ended with the conquest of Babylon by the Persian Empire under Cyrus the Great.
