539 bc
the profound political, social, and cultural influence imposed upon the near east by the civilization known as the ancient babylonian empire was the most pervasive in this historical period. the city itself, babylon, positioned itself as a center of pivotal historical developments for centuries. there were 3 major babylonian dynasties: amorite, kassite, and chaldean. this political entity was most predominate within the southern portion of mesopotamia. it existed as an unremitting rival of the northern assyrian mesopotamians. although it was assaulted and militarily overcome on several occasions, it did exist as a stalwart presence from the later 3rd millennium bc to the middle of the 6th century bc. after the fall of the assyrian empire in 612 bc, the babylonian empire was the most powerful state in the ancient world. its capital, babylon, was beautifully adorned by king nebuchadnezzar, who erected several famous buildings. even after the babylonian empire had been overthrown by the persian king cyrus the great in 539 bc, the city itself remained an important cultural center. this period would be considered the zenith of babylon's dominance in its two-and-a-half millennium history. ancient babylon was officially conquered by the achaemenid persian empire in the late 6th century bc.
