🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️The fall of Babylon is one of the landmark events of the Ancient World, because the collapse of any major power always affects neighboring peoples and states.

The Babylonian kingdom, which is also known as Babylonia, arose at the beginning of the second millennium BC in the south of Mesopotamia (now it is the territory of Iraq). By 539 BC, this state had lost its greatness and then its independence. Babylonia was the heir of two kingdoms: Akkad and Sumer. The Babylonian kingdom bore the features of these two states, the official language was Akkadian, and the cult language was Sumerian.
