You can see it in this map here when we showed the Akkadian Empire. And both the Babylonians and the Assyrians were Akkadian-speaking. So at this point now, and as we get into the later Assyrian period, we'll start to have Aramaic be a more significant language, another Semitic language. But as you can see here, the Assyrian Empire, at its peak, controlled much of the modern-day Middle East. Now, the Assyrian Empire would eventually collapse in the 7th century BCE, and it would be taken over by the Neo-Babylonian Empire. And I have a map of that right over here, which also controlled much of the modern Middle East. Probably the most famous ruler of the Neo-Babylonian Empire was Nebuchadnezzar II, from the Hebrew Bible, famous for taking the early Jewish people captive, the famous Babylonian captivity.
