Irak'ta antik kent ve ören yeri

AI overview

Babylon was an ancient city in southern Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) that served as the cultural and political center of the Akkadian-speaking region and was home to two major empires—the Old Babylonian Empire (19th–16th century BC) and the Neo-Babylonian Empire (7th–6th century BC). It was one of the most important urban centers of the ancient Near East and also functioned as a regional capital for other empires, including the Achaemenid Empire.
