Babylon Independence (627 BC): As a result of the crumbling condition of the Assyrian Empire, Babylon was able to assert its independence, taking control over the city and surrounding Mesopotamian regions.
The Assyrian people conquered the Hittites, who had conquered the Babylonian empire, in 1300 B.C.E. The Assyrian empire was not only in Mesopotamia, but also Syria, Palestine, and most of Egypt and Anatolia. The Assyrians took the Hittites inventions of iron weapons, chariots, and the wheel and enhanced them to their advantage.
