Reading from the book Ezra:

1 Cyrus, king of Persia had just begun to rule Babylon. He decided to make a new *law. Men wrote it down. And he sent out men with the news. He sent them to all the people that he ruled. God had caused him to do this. God had said to Jeremiah years before that he would send the *Israelites home (Jeremiah 29:10).

v2 This is what Cyrus, the king of Persia said:

'The *Lord, the God of *heaven, has given me power over all the *kingdoms on the earth. He has said that I must build a *temple for him at Jerusalem. That is the biggest city in Judah. v3 Any of Israel's people who live in my land can return to Jerusalem. They must build a *temple there for the *Lord, the God of Israel. He is the God of Jerusalem. I hope that he will be with those people. v4 Many *Israelites are living here now. The people who live near to them must give *silver and gold to them. And they must give animals and other things to the *Israelites for *offerings to their God. They will take these gifts to him in Jerusalem's *temple.'

v5 Then the leaders of Judah and Benjamin's families and the *priests and the *Levites prepared to go to Jerusalem. God had said that they must build the *Lord's house there. And he had caused them to want to do this. v6 All the people who lived near them gave them animals, gold, *silver and other things for *offerings. They also gave them many valuable gifts. v7 Then King Cyrus remembered the things that Nebuchadnezzar had taken away from the *temple in Jerusalem (Daniel 1:1-2). Nebuchadnezzar had put them in his god's house. v8 Mithredath kept Cyrus's valuable things safe. So Cyrus asked him to fetch the things that belonged to Jerusalem's *temple. Then Mithredath gave them to Sheshbazzar, an important leader from Judah.

It was at the centre of the Fertile Crescent.

The city of Babylon is no longer inhabited, although its location is known and Babylon, as it is still known, is an active archaeological site. It is near the present-day city of Baghdad.

canadian law is better than hammurabi's law because hammurabi's law is way more harsher than canadian laws today.

of course, if our law was as harsh as hammurabi's today, there would be less crimes.

in canadian law, the people who decide if you are going to jail/if you are guilty, have to ask questions to themselves like 'did the accused person of the crime do his actions on purpose','how old is this person...' and it goes on and on. when in hammurabi's law no questions asked you would be killed right away. in my opinion i would rather have the canadian law more than hammurabi's.

The hitties kep a secret of their ability to make iron because they were very skilled fighters and their ability to make iron made them powerful.

I don't know that it was invented as much as it was discovered. It was a way of trying to get more power onto something that needed to be moved.

The Babylonian numeral system was sexagesimal (base-60), so you would need to use the Babylonian numerals 1, 46 and 25 to represent 6385. Each value represents an increasing power of 60 from the right (in the same way that decimal systems represent increasing powers of 10 from the right).

That is:

25 x 1 = 25

46 x 60 = 2760

1 x 60 x 60 = 3600

3600 + 2760 + 25 = 6385

Unfortunately, the symbols themselves cannot be presented in this forum. See related links below to view the actual symbols used to represent the individual values for 1 to 59. Although there was no symbol for zero, a space was used as a positional place-holder. Unfortunately, this meant there was no radix point to indicate the units position, so 6385 might have meant 6385x60, or 6385x60x60 or even 6385/60, depending on the context.

The last people to conquer Babylon were the Chaldeans (kal-DEE-unz)

Punishment should be similar to the crime committed.

They fought the Egyptians and the Assyrians, the Babylonians won in a decisive victory

The crisis of the polis, particularly in ancient Greece, refers to the challenges faced by city-states during the 5th and 4th centuries BCE, including political instability, social strife, and economic difficulties. Factors such as the Peloponnesian War, the rise of rival powers, and internal class conflicts weakened the traditional structures of governance and community cohesion. This period saw the decline of the polis as a central institution, leading to shifts in political power and the eventual rise of larger entities like Macedon. Ultimately, it marked a significant transformation in ancient Greek society and politics.

Well Babylon was largely in the area now known as Iraq, so I'd say Iraq. If you live in the US, take note that it's pronounced ih-rawk (the I sound is like 'it' without the 't' and the second part is kind of like rock, but with more of an 'aw' sound) with the emphasis on the second syllable. Not eye-rack.

Hammurabi and his father belonged to a dynasty of independent kings of the city of Babylon. This group of kings, which Hammurabi was considered the most illustrious member of, is now referred to as the "First Dynasty of Babylon."

Babylon

Nebuchadnezzar took Jehoiachin captive to Babylon. He also took from Jerusalem to Babylon the king's mother, his wives, his officials and the prominent people of the land.

2 Kings 24:15 ►

Herodotus was the first author to give a full description of the Hanging Gardens. According to him, the gardens were built by Nebuchadnezzar II to make his wife Amytis happy because she didn't like the Babylonian desert. She had lived in Persia, which had many plants and fountains. It was about 350 feet tall and was covered with trees, flowers, lawns, plants, fountains, pools, and miniature water falls. It had every kind of plant available in the kingdom. It was made of mud brick and stone, a series of terraces, one on top of the other. The plants couldn't survive without water, so they had to pump water from the Euphrates River to flow down through channels to the plants.

Reading Herodotus' description, you'll see that what he described was Babylon itself. If you try to sketch out the city plan as he describes it, it can be done. What's more, it's pretty accurate in relation to archaeological maps. In the plan below, Herodotus' Temple of Zeus Belos is the central and above it is his King's Palace where we'd look for the Hanging Gardens. In the early 1900's German archaeologist, Robert Koldewey traced the area where the Hanging Gardens of Babylon had been layed. Only crumbling mud brick can be seen today.
