BABYLONIA A GREAT CIVILIZATION

What was the Babylonian civilization? What was so great about this particular civilization anyways? Babylonia was a civilization that had a way of life that was so effective that it underwent relatively little change for some 1200 years. In the following essay, I will be discussing their daily life, their economy, government, the people and society, arts, and religion, to show why and how their way of life was so effective. Daily life in Babylonia was …

…kept the people in line. The Hammurabi's Code had a big and positive influence on Babylonia. Their art and architecture showed how they were civilized, respected nature, and their strong militaristic skills. Their religious beliefs also play a big part in why the civilization was so great. The beliefs were very "human" and just. Thus, I have proven that the Babylonian civilization was great, basically because of how "modern" it was compared to today's society.
