A vibrant trading system developed, bringing manufactured goods and raw materials from as far as Turkey, and even India, 1500 miles away. Trade became integral to the economy and the culture. In this lesson, students explore the trade industry in Old Babylonia and its far-flung influence. That was life for the Babylonian citizens.
Grain, oils and textiles were taken from Babylonia to foreign cities and exchanged for timber, wine, precious metals and stones. In addition, merchants from other countries travelled to Babylonia to exchange their goods. Though farming was the main industry of the ancient Babylonian, trade was also an integral part of their life and of Babylonian civilization. A king could not raise taxes for some great war from poor peasants. Trade was the key to wealth. The kings knew that to preserve their own wealth they had to promote trade. They supported the merchants and would often ransom them if bandits or some hostile kingdom captured them. By promoting trade a king could tax people.

Why did Nebuchadnezzar build two walls some towers and moat around his capital?
Accounts indicate that the garden was built by King Nebuchadnezzar, who ruled the city for 43 years starting in 605 BC (There is an alternative story that the gardens were built by the Assyrian Queen Semiramis during her five year reign starting in 810 BC). This was the height of the city's power and influence and King Nebuchadnezzar is known to have constructed an astonishing array of temples, streets, palaces and walls. According to accounts, the gardens were built to cheer up Nebuchadnezzar's homesick wife, Amyitis. Amyitis, daughter of the king of the Medes, was married to Nebuchadnezzar to create an alliance between the two nations. The land she came from, though, was green, rugged and mountainous, and she found the flat, sun-baked terrain of Mesopotamia depressing. The king decided to relieve her depression by recreating her homeland through the building of an artificial mountain with rooftop gardens.

How was Babylonian And Hittite Empires similar?
Both had Semitic people. Assyria was once in the Babylonia Empire. Both built great cities where culture and learning were valued.
The Chaldean dynasty, founded by Nabopolassar when he became King of Babylon in 626 BC, was to rule over the empire they took over from the Assyrians when they defeated their army in 609 BC. This King had declared his son Nebuchadrezzar crown prince when the renovation of the palace was celebrated early in his reign. Father and son were together when the last Assyrian king surrendered at Harran.
The difference could be based on climate. Since Assyria was a highland region, north of Babylonia, it had a more invigorating climate than Babylonia. Also the Assyrian culture was deeply indebted to that of the Babylonians, the Hittites and the Hurrians. The religion was adopted from the Babylonians except that Ashur the presiding god of the city of Ashur became the chief deity of Assyria. It was animistic nature worship.
Well both of them were empires and they both had a kin that ruled them. Finally they both invented something. Babylonia invented roadways and Assyria invented the battering ram.
How much did the Hanging Gardens of Babylon cost?
There is no idea on that. According to accounts, the gardens were built to cheer up Nebuchadnezzar's homesick wife, Amyitis. Amyitis, daughter of the king of the Medes, was married to Nebuchadnezzar to create an alliance between the two nations. The land she came from, though, was green, rugged and mountainous, and she found the flat, sun-baked terrain of Mesopotamia depressing. The king decided to relieve her depression by recreating her homeland through the building of an artificial mountain with rooftop gardens. Again, we have no idea on the cost.
What were the limitations of women in the Babylonian Empire?
Free citizen, or property, depending on whether or not they were legally sold. One of the practices of ancient Babylon, was the insurance of fertlity through sex rites at the temple of Ishtar; to fulfill her religious duty, a girl would go to the temple and wait for someone to have sex with her. The idea was that if the gods saw people going at it they would get "turned on" and bring rain. Naturally, the prettier girls always fulfilled their duties the fastest, so in ancient Babylon it was considered bad manners to not have sex with an ugly girl waiting at the temple of Ishtar.
The Jewish community there condemned that practice.
They were always so uptight those Babylonian Jews.....
