Babylon was one of the largest of the Mesopotamian city-states and pioneered several important advances in the ancient world.; a) Architecture: The Babylonians were well-known for their large-scale buildings, such as the Ishtar Gate and the Hanging Gardens. b) Code of Laws: King Hammurabi helped define several modern legal concepts in his ancient code of laws, one of the earliest in human history.
About 2000 B.C., the city of Babylon was founded, on the Euphrates River. Many conquerors had Babylon as their capital. Among these was Hammurabi, the Amorite leader who is best known for his famous laws, the Code of Hammurabi. These laws made it so that everyone knew the laws and the punishments for breaking those laws. The Code also allowed women to own property and set tax rates and price levels. Hammurabi ruled for 42 years, from 1792 to 1750 B.C. Far to the north lived the Hittites, powerful warriors whose capital city was Hattusa.
