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 King list describes the first rulers in this area as dwelling in tents, i.e. nomadic. While northern Mesopotamia was under the control of the Akkadian and Ur III empires, after the collapse of the latter, Assyria went its own way.
