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.
Babylonian astronomers discover an 18.6-year cycle in the rising and setting of the Moon. From this they created the first almanacs â tables of the movements of the Sun, Moon and planets for the use in astrology. In 6th century BC Greece, this knowledge is used to predict eclipses.
