Babylonia
Babylonia appears on the map from 1800 BCE to 601 BCE. At its greatest recorded extent, in 611 BCE, it covered about 555,850 km².
Babylon was a small town until an Amorite dynasty made it a capital around 1894 BCE. Its sixth king, Hammurabi, conquered all of southern Mesopotamia and is remembered for his law code carved on a stone pillar. Over the next thousand years Babylon was ruled by Kassites, native kings and, for long stretches, the Assyrians, yet it remained the region's religious and cultural heart, famous for its scholars and astronomers.
