Neo-Babylonian

Description:

After the collapse of the Assyrian Empire, led by a coalition of Babylonians, Medes, Scythians, and Cimmerians, the Neo-Babylonian Empire flourished. The seat of the empire was transferred from Nineveh to Babylonia, and economics, agriculture, building projects, arts, and sciences flourished. The period was a renaissance of Sumerian/Akkadian traditions. Temples dominated the urban social structure, legal system, and social hierarchy. The period ended during the reign of Nabonidus, when Babylon was captured by Cyrus the Great.
