Old Babylonian

Description:

The Old Babylonian Period describes southern Mesopotamia where a number of important sates dominated the region, including Isin, Larsa, Eshnuna, and Babylon.  The sixth ruler of Babylon, Hamurabi, unified the southern states and expanded his control into north Mesopotamia.  After his death, the empire gradually shrank, but remained an important power until it was sacked by the Hittite king Mursili I.  During the Old Babylonian period, literary activity flourished with scribes composing and recording religious, poetic, and ‘scientific’ works in Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform.  The state retained the Akkadian language for official use, and the Sumerian language for religious use, but Amorite was the spoken language.  The earlier Akkadian and Sumerian traditions played a major role in Babylonian culture.
