Babylon

Babylon Gains Independence from Assyrian Empire (627 BC): As barbaric tribes from the north and east invaded Assyria, Babylon capitalized upon Assyria's weakened state, by gaining independence. The ruling Chaldeans (a Semitic people) also proceeded to conquer the rest of Southern Mesopotamia.

Assyria Capital of Nineveh Captured by Babylonians (612 BC): The Babylonians marched north, conquering Assyrian territory along the way as they advanced toward the heart of the empire. In 612 BC, with the help of the Iranian Medes, Babylon conquered Nineveh.

Battle of Meggido Ends the Assyrian Empire (605 BC): The last remnant of the Assyrian army escaped from the defeat at Nineveh. They were joined at Megiddo by the Egyptians. The Assyrian-Egyptian alliance is thoroughly defeated by the Babylonians, bringing an absolute end to the Assyrian Empire, while extending the emerging Babylonian Empire to the Mediterranean Sea.

Note: Chaldeans. The Chaldeans were a Semitic people that had gained control of Babylon. Thus, the Neo-Babylonian Empire is also known as the Chaldean Empire.

Babylon's Northern Border Secured before 600 BC: After assuming the throne in 605 BC, upon the death of his father. Nebuchadnezzar II defeats the nomadic tribes to the north, securing the northern borders, and the entire empire by extension. In which case, Babylonia achieves what Assyria could not.

Babylon Subdues Jerusalem (597 BC): Nebuchadnezzar's campaigns against Egypt elicited discontent among Babylonia's subjects in the Levant. After a Jerusalem uprising, Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem in 597 BC, then destroying the city in 587 after another rebellion. According to the Bible, 5,000-10,000 inhabitants of Jerusalem (primarily the upper class) were exiled eastward into Mesopotamia. Empirical evidence does not confirm the specific exile of a "Jewish" upper class, but it does support the notion that Nebuchadnezzar did have a tendency to exile problematic groups of people from their homeland into other, far-removed parts of the empire.

Babylon's Siege and Subjugation of Tyre (585-572 BC): After destroying Jerusalem, Nebuchadnezzar turned his attention toward revolts in Tyre (Phoencia). Following a 13-year siege, Tyre agreed to accept Babylonian rule.

Note: Nebuchadnezzar's Famous Construction Projects. Nebuchadnezzar II is perhaps most famous for his massive contruction projects in eradicating Babylon's somewhat dilapidated state (due to frequent rebellions against Assyria before finally gaining independence). Magnificent religious monuments were built, and an outrageously extravagant royal palace was constructed, transforming Babylon into an ancient "7th wonder of the world".

Persians defeat Babylonians at Battle of Opis in (June, 539 BC).

Babylon Captured by Persians (Oct, 539 BC): Persians enter the city without a fight, bringing an abrupt end to the Babylonian Empire.

Note: The Persian Empire Gains Popularity of Babylonians. The Chaldean Empire was never very popular among its constituents, which weakened and ripened the empire for defeat. To engender the support of is new subjects, Cyrus (Persian Emperor) allowed exiles to return to their homeland. He then underwent the sacred ceremony of the Babylonian religious consecration ritual performed by Babylonian priests, traditionally endowed upon the King of Babylon.

The Empire went as a far as Egypt to the lands of Turkey.

The Babylonian captivityis the period in Jewish history during which a number of Judahites of the ancientKingdom of Judah were captives in Babylonia. After the Battle of Carchemish in 605 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, besieged Jerusalem, resulting in tribute being paid by King Jehoiakim. Jehoiakim refused to pay tribute in Nebuchadnezzar's fourth year, which led to another siege in Nebuchadnezzar's seventh year, culminating with the death of Jehoiakim and the exile of KingJeconiah, his court and many others; Jeconiah's successor Zedekiah and others were exiled in Nebuchadnezzar's eighteenth year; a later deportation occurred in Nebuchadnezzar's twenty-third year. The dates, numbers of deportations, and numbers of deportees given in the biblical accounts vary. These deportations are dated to 597 BCE for the first, with others dated at 587/586 BCE, and 582/581 BCE respectively

Hammurabi's law code was one of the first set of rules created. It was created to bring order and justice to ancient Egypt. Some of the laws were thought of to be cruel. For example, if a son were to strike his father, his hands would be cut off.

Yes, it shows significant gender and stature-related biases. Google Hammurabi's Code if you want a list of the laws.

The first two laws of the Hammurabi code states:

1. If anyone ensnare another, putting a ban upon him, but he cannot prove it, then he that ensnared him shall be put to death.

2. If anyone bring an accusation against a man, and the accused go to the river and leap into the river, if he sink in the river his accuser shall take possession of his house. But if the river prove that the accused is not guilty, and he escape unhurt, then he who had brought the accusation shall be put to death, while he who leaped into the river shall take possession of the house that had belonged to his accuser.

Hammurabi had 210 kids, according to numerous sources.

Hammurabi extended his empire northward from the Persian Gulf through the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys and westward to the coast of the Mediterranean Sea as king of Babylonia, and the greatest ruler in the first Babylonian dynasty. Hammurabi is primarily remembered for his codification of the laws governing Babylonian life.

The king took over Babylonia when the times in Mesopotamia lie in confusion, turmoil, and constant war. King after king manages to rule a city-state or a small empire for a short time by conquering neighboring city-states. But these kings are cruel to the people of the conquered city, rule unjustly, and leave turmoil and a struggle for power. Hammurabi took over to be another kind a king who ruled to unite Mesopotamia under a just law.

In the things I have read, he wanted to create laws equals to everybody including the slaves and carve them into stone so everyone would remember then.

Recorded existing laws for all to see .

He created many different laws, and many people followed them, and he was the ruler of the Babylon kingdom in 1792 B.C., so I would say yes, he was an effecive ruler.

Answer one:

The wheel was thought to be invented by the Mesopotamians with a log because they realized they could take a log and place it under heavy objects and the logs would roll.

Answer Two:

The oldest wheel was found 3000 BC in Holland before the early Mesopotamian civilizations. This was a spoked wheel so the history goes back much further. The current theory is it was invented in Ukraine, Balkans and southern Urals/ central asia. People who had followed herds annually using sleighs had greater difficulty as the climate warmed. Ice was replaced by grassland. By adding rollers to the sleigh the motion was enhanced.

We know historically that Mesopotamia was under constant threat of invasion from the Caucuses and Balkans were nomads and early shifting agriculturists lived. The wheel and its enhancements came from the north with waves of ruling elites. The Hittites being the last example who conquered the so called civilised world in one generation. By rocks, they carved them into squares and found it was harder to move so they rounded the tips it got stuck on slowly. moving it into the wheel. Before that they would put it on wood, kind of like skis. We got many ideas from them.

The major cause of the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was the invasions by the Germanic peoples. These peoples and two more Germanic peoples, who had been allowed to settle in parts of the empire and also took over lands in this part of the empire, eventually seized of all the lands of this part of the empire, except for Italy. At the end of this process, even Italy was taken over by the Ostrogoths, who were sent there by the eastern Roman Emperor to depose a usurper.

The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years.

The codification of the law written in the Hammurabi code, is the oldest known code of law and it was adequate in all the sense.

If a son shall strike his mother or father, his hands shall be cut off.

If a builder builds the house of another man, and it collapses and the owner is killed, the builder shall be killed.

(relating to the law above) If the owners son dies, the builders son is killed.

There were different punishments depending on the social class of the offender. Also, while it gave some rights to women (one of the first attempts in history at doing so), men still had far more rights.
