Babylon

Babylon

I am asking the same question, i wish i knew.....its for homework....

Based on the archaeological evidence Babylon was conquered and renewed itself several times. Conquerors included the Assyrians, the Chaldeans, Persia, the Greeks, Persia (again) and finally the Arabs. At present American forces following the 2003 invasion of Iraq and Baghdad have once again "conquered" Babylon.

Probably the most famous conquest of Babylon was by Alexander The Great.

His code.

The Code of Hammurabi has 282 entries covering all sorts of civil interactions, from inheritance to theft to slave ownership. This code is one of the earliest known.

There is no such thing as Nebuchadnezzar died long before Jesus was born and thus never met him.

Mesopotamia is now the land that is today part of Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. It was also here that Abraham had lived before he set out to the Promised Land. For many years, Abraham was believed to have lived at the same time as Hammurabi. Later scholars would date Abraham to the period shortly before the reign of Hammurabi so now Hammurabi now appears to be a near contemporary of Moses instead of Abraham. In Egyptian chronological studies, the patriarchs are dated earlier than ever before. In spite of this, there has been little research conducted on the relationship between Abraham and Mesopotamia. It will come to the conclusion that Abraham lived much earlier in Mesopotamian history than what most have realized.

The word Mesopotamia comes from Greek origin, meaning the land between two rivers -- the Tigris and the Euphrates. Both the Tigris and the Euphrates start in the mountainous regions of Turkey and flow into the Persian Gulf.

Abraham was a city dweller from the city of Ur. His father, Terah, was a maker of idols. Abraham believed in the One God, the maker of heaven and earth, not the multiple deities that the common people of the region believed in. In about 2090 BC, God called Abraham out of that city, to separate him from that evil influence, and to make of him a great nation. Abraham became a wanderer and a nomad in the land of Canaan.

The animals represented on the gate are young bulls (aurochs), lions, and dragons (sirrush). These animals are symbolic representations of certain deities: lions are often associated with Ishtar, bulls with Adad, and dragons with Marduk. Respectively, Ishtar was a goddess of fertility, love, war, and sex, Adad was a weather god, and Marduk was the chief or national god of Babylon.

It was a small Semitic nation that emerged between the late 10th and early 9th century BC, surviving until the mid 6th century BC, after which it disappeared as the Chaldean tribes were absorbed into the native population of Babylonia. It was located in the marshy land of the far southeastern corner of Mesopotamia, and briefly came to rule Babylon. During a period of weakness in the East Semitic speaking empire of Babylonia, new tribes of West Semitic-speaking migrants[3]arrived in the region from the Levant between the 11th and 10th centuries BC. The earliest waves consisted of Suteans and Arameans, followed a century or so later by the Kaldu, a group who became known later as the Chaldeans or the Chaldees.

Because there was not an afterlife in the religion of the early Mesopotamian society people had no incentive to be good since there was no reward for doing so. thus to keep the peace the punishments for the breaking of any laws was generally death, for example this is rule number 109 in Hammurabi's code in addition rule number 137, 138 shows that women were treated relatively well in the sense that they were allowed to own property and have personal wealth rather than the husband owning everything.

109. If rebels meet in the house of a wine seller and she does not seize them and take them to the palace that wine seller shall been slain.

137. If a man had decided to divorce ... a wife who has presented him with children, then he shall give back to that woman her dowry, and he shall give her the use of field, garden, and property, and she shall bring up her children. After she has brought up her children, she shall take a son's portion of all that is given to her children, and she marry the husband of her heart.

138. If a man divorces his spouse who has not borne him children, he shall give to her all the silver of the bride-price, and restore to her the dowry, which she brought from the house of her father, and so he shall divorce her.
