History of Egypt, Chaldæa, Syria, Babylonia, and Assyria, Volume 5 (of 12)

The history of the Hittite civilization derives mainly from the diplomatic and commercial letters found in various wedding houses in Assyria, Babylon, Egypt and the Middle East, as well as cuneiform characters found in their kingdoms. In the history of Indian European languages. The Hittite army succeeded in using tanks and belonged to the bronze era, but he was a pioneer of the iron age and began manufacturing iron products in the 18th century BC. At this point, gifts from Iron Throne of "Burushanda" and Iron Scepter to King Kaneshite Anitta are recorded in Anitta's text inscription.

Unlike Assyria, Babylon, Egypt, its history and tradition is well documented in Biblical and classical materials, but there is nothing in non-Mesopotamian material that can doubt the existence of ancient Sumerians. Needless to say, they fully understand their important role in the history of early civilization. When the wedge-shaped interpretation was realized in the early 19th century, three languages ​​written in wedge-shaped writing were discovered. The language membership is unknown Semitic Babylonian, Indo-European Persian and Elamite. Only after the text written in Babylon is better understood will scholars understand the existence of different texts from Babylonian. When a new language is discovered, it is designated as Skitai in a different sense, or Akkadian (ie the name of Semitic given to Babylonia and Assyria now).

In addition to Babylon, we also need to mention Assyria bordering the north Babylonians. The development of Assyria is often intertwined with the history of Babylon. About 1270 BC, Assyrians beat Babylonia. Since the Assyrians dominated the ancient world, in the next 700 years the power of the Babylonians was small. About 626 BC, independence of Babylon was finally obtained by the leader named Nabopolasar from Assyria. Under his guidance, Babylon once again became the power of the Near East's dominant empire, thus entering her "Golden Age". In 605 BC, Nebuchadnezzar II, a son of Nabopolasar, became ruler, and reigned for 44 years. Under his reign, the Babylonian Empire demonstrated its greatest power. Nebuchadnezzar built the capital city of Babylon, the capital of Babylon, in the major cities of the world by utilizing the wealth that other countries brought. The famous Babylonian hanging garden is known by the Greeks as one of the seven wonders of the world.
