The term "Babylonian" refers to the people and culture of ancient Babylon, a significant city in Mesopotamia that flourished around 2000 BCE. The Babylonians are known for their advancements in various fields, including mathematics, astronomy, and law. One of their most famous contributions is the Code of Hammurabi, one of the earliest written legal codes, which established rules and justice in society.
Babylonian society was rich in art and architecture, with impressive structures like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Their writing system, called cuneiform, was one of the first forms of writing, allowing them to record their history, trade, and scientific knowledge.
