Babylonian refers to the ancient civilization that thrived in Mesopotamia, particularly in the city of Babylon, around 1800-500 BCE. Known for its advances in mathematics, astronomy, and architecture, the Babylonians created the impressive Hanging Gardens, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. They developed a writing system called cuneiform and contributed to law with the famous Code of Hammurabi. Babylonian culture significantly influenced later civilizations through its innovations in science, literature, and governance, marking it as a cornerstone of early human history.
