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.

Nebuchadnezzar died after a 43 year reign, He was still king of Babylon. Then the kingship passed to his son, Evil-Merodach. He reigned about 2 years and was slain by his sisters husband, Neriglissar. Nerigilisser reigned about 4 years. Nabonidus was the next king and he ruled until B.C. 539. His son Belshazzar was a co-regent with his father. These were all Babylonian kings. Belshazzar was in Babylon when the Persians, under Cyrus captured that city in B.C.539. The Bible calls Belshazzar, Nebuchadnezzar son, but there are many times when a generation is passed over in the Bible. It is said Belshazzar's mother was Nitocris, which was Nebuchadnezzar's daughter.
