Fall of Babylon. The fall of Babylon is a term often used to denote the end of the Neo-Babylonian dynasty after being conquered by the Medo-Persians (Achaemenid Empire) in 539 BCE.
But Babylon was too distant for the Hittites to rule â 1200 miles from their capital at Hattusas â and the Hittites withdrew from Babylon. In 1590 the Hittite king, Mursilis, was assassinated by his brother-in-law.
