Babylonian Civilization: Man evolved from monkey. That man is developed in every way. In order to develop, he cared about civilization and culture. He grew in popularity day by day and spread all over the world. He became the most intelligent animal on this earth. He initiated a new change in all aspects of civilization, culture, development and the expansion of his race.. But there are many things on this earth that have changed the survival of man. Harappan Indus culture and Babylonian civilization are important among them.
To say that the Babylonian civilization flourished, traces of it can still be seen today in the country of Iran. Historians say that the Babylonian civilization knocked out the humanity in man. Babylonian civilization was an important part of Mesopotamian civilization. Historians say that the Babylonian civilization began to flourish after the destruction of the Sumerian civilization. The Amorites were the founders of this civilization. Hammu Rabi was the king of the Amorites. For hundreds of years, the Babylonians displayed their talents in the fields of history, writing, literature, religion, architecture, science, and art.
As mentioned earlier, after the destruction of the Sumerian civilization, the Babylonian people began to expand their civilization. The Babylonians used cuneiform writing, similar to the Sumerians. They used more than 350 symbols in their works. They used to write on soft clay tablets with a pen made of bones and bamboo. Hammu Rabi established many schools for students during his administration. Babylonian youths were proficient in writing, reading, and mathematics. The girls displayed excellent talent in singing and dancing. “He who can write well can shine like the sun” After the Babylonian culture ended. From this it can be understood how much they give priority to education.
The literature of the Babylonians is very rich. Babylonians wrote about 2000 books. He wrote books on religion, science, mathematics and astrology. Gilgamesh has a special place in the literature written by the Babylonians.. Once God created rains on the Babylonians.. and sent a terrible flood. But King Gilgamesh learned about this through a sage and controlled the flood. Having said this, there are many stories circulating. During the administration of Hammu Rabi, religion, agriculture, administration and various types of laws were enforced. These were codified by Hammurabi in their simplest form. It is known as the Code of Hammurabi. During his reign the laws were carved on 8 feet high diorite rocks. The stones were placed in the temple of the Babylonian god Marduk. An image of Samas (Sun) is carved on the top of these stones. That is, their intention is to say that the laws shine in his radiance.
For several years, the Babylonian culture flourished. It has played its part in the development of human civilization. It plays an important role in building a healthy society. The fields of art, architecture, science, and commerce that we practice today all flourished during the Babylonian era. That culture, which once gained a great reputation, has now merged in the womb of time. Important buildings related to Babylonian administration can still be seen in Iran. Otherwise they are completely ruined. Historians occasionally conduct excavations and other research in the area.
