	Sumerian History
		The later Babylonian and Assyrian king lists that were based on it still preserved the earliest portions of the list well into the 3rd century BC, when Berossus popularised the list in the Hellenic world.
		The first name on the List whose historical existence is attested archaeologically is that of Enmebaragesi of Kish, said to have conquered Elam and built the temple of Enlil in Nippur.
		In one scene, the king stands in his chariot with a curved weapon in his right hand, formed of three bars of metal bound together by rings, while his kilted followers, with helmets on their heads and lances in their hands, march behind him.

		These lists assign to each year an eponymous official known as a limmu, and some bearing an important event for the previous year, are fixed with the precision of a year due to the mention of the solar eclipse of June 16, 763 BC.
		The Chaldean king Nabonidus (reigned from 556 BC), who was more of an antiquarian than a politician, and spent his time in excavating the older temples of his country and ascertaining the names of their builders, tells us that Naram-Sin, the son of Sargon of Akkad, lived 3200 years before himself, i.e.
		The Canon's accuracy is confirmed by the larger king lists, the principal Babylonian Chronicle and the Assyrian Eponym Lists (or limmu lists), by which Assyrian chronology is fixed from 911 BC to 666 BC.

		Babylonian mathematics refers to any mathematics of the peoples of Mesopotamia (Iraq), from the days of the early Sumerians to the fall of Babylon in 539 BC.
		The Old Babylonian period is the period to which most of the clay tablets on Babylonian mathematics belong, which is why the mathematics of Mesopotamia is commonly known as Babylonian mathematics.
		Also it is known that the Babylonian priest known as Berossus wrote around 281 BC a book in Greek on the (rather mythological) history of Babylonia, the Babyloniaca, for the new ruler Antiochus I; it is said that later he founded a school of astrology on the Greek island of Kos.

	Babylonian - Tower of Babel
		Babylonian society consisted of three classes represented by the awilu, a free person of the upper class; the wardu, or slave; and the mushkenu, a free person of low estate, who ranked legally between the awilu and the wardu.
		Babylonian artisans were skilled in metallurgy, in the processes of fulling, bleaching, and dyeing, and in the preparation of paints, pigments, cosmetics, and perfumes.
		For instance, Babylonian influence is pervasive throughout the Bible and in the works of such Greek poets as Homer and Hesiod, in the geometry of the Greek mathematician Euclid, in astronomy, in astrology, and in heraldry.

	Kidinnu and ancient Babylonian astronomy
		The Babylonian astronomers had been observing the skies for centuries and had recorded their observations in astronomical diaries, astronomical almanacs, catalogues of stars and other texts.
		In the reign of king Nabonassar -in 747 BC to be more precise- the astronomers of Babylon recognized that 235 lunar months are almost identical to 19 solar years.
		Kidinnu must have known that in the days of the legendary king Hammurabi (1792-1750 BC), the earth's axis was directed to a point inside the Dragon and he must have been able to conclude that the axis of the earth was slowly changing its direction.

	The Pious Frauds
		Their king, whom they chose over the son of Solomon, was a Libyan, and it is quite likely that the people were themselves either Libyan or indigenous people who had lived in the area for centuries, which makes it very unlikely that they ever called themselves Israelites.
		This Phoenician king's list gives the time from the 12th year of Hirum to the founding of Carthage as being 126 years, and is accurate to within 20 years.
		Babylonian politics and religion are indistinguishable, and the creation of the Chaldean movement was centered not just on placing a Babylonian King on the throne, but in establishing Marduk, the God of Babylon, as their God.

		The city of Nippur [nipoor] (Sumerian Nibru, Akkadian Nibbur) was one of the most ancient of all the Babylonian cities of which we have any knowledge, the special seat of the worship of the Sumerian god, Enlil, ruler of the cosmos subject to An alone.
		The following is a list of the Kings of Babylon, a major city of ancient Mesopotamia, in modern Iraq.
		The Babylonian king remained a priest to the last, under the control of a powerful hierarchy; the Assyrian king was the autocratic general of an army, at whose side stood in early days a feudal nobility, aided from the reign of Tiglath-pileser III onwards by an elaborate bureaucracy.

	The classical and medieval views of Mesopotamia
		Berosus' tradition, beginning with a list of primeval kings before the Flood, is a reliable one; it agrees with the tradition of the Sumerian king list, and even individual names can be traced back exactly to their Sumerian originals.
		Even the immensely long reigns of the primeval kings, which lasted as long as "18 sars" (= 18 3,600 = 64,800) of years, are found in Berosus.
		In 1700 an Englishman, Thomas Hyde, coined the term "cuneiform" for these inscriptions, and by the middle of the 18th century it was known that the Persepolis inscriptions were related to those of Babylon.

	Babylonian King list of the Hellenistic Period
		The Babylonian King List of the Hellenistic Period (also known as "King List 6") is an important historiographical document from ancient Babylonia.
		It mentions the length of the reigns of several kings, beginning with the accession of Philip Arridaeus, the brother of Alexander the Great, in June 323, and continuing to the reign of the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes (175-164).
		As Grayson has suggested, this suggests that "the original editors observed that the scribe was conscious of the antiquity of the king list tradition in Babylonia and of the fact that he was perpetuating this tradition in his own time".

	Akkad and the Akkadians of Mesopotamia (Ancient Akkad)
		Whenever they extended beyond the immediate Babylonian neighbourhood, the military campaigns of the Akkadian kings were dictated primarily by trade interests instead of being intended to serve the conquest and safeguarding of an empire.
		After the first kings of the dynasty had borne the title of king of Kish, Naram-Sin assumed the title "king of the four quarters of the earth"--that is, of the universe.
		At the very least it must be acknowledged that, in relation to his city and his subjects, the king saw himself in the role played by the local divinity as protector of the city and guarantor of its well-being.

	Commodity Prices in Babylon 385 - 61 BC
		At the end of a monthly section some historical events were recorded (mainly on campaigns of the king, visits of the king or high officials to Babylon, cultic events, etc.) and the prices of six commodities were given: barley, dates, "mustard?", "cress?", sesame and wool.
		It means that March in one year may correspond to Babylonian year XII, in another year with month I. Furthermore she did not take into account that the sample for this kind of research is too small, and that is especially detrimental, when we take extremes into account.
		In Babylonian administrative documents it is specifically expressed as such: "x shekel of silver in staters of Alexander", sometimes with the clause added: "according to the computation (=exchange rate?) of Babylon".

		The epithet "great" refers to the fact that he was the "great king" in respect to his co-rulers, his sons Seleucus (murdered by his own father in 266) and Antiochus, the later Antiochus II Theos.
		The Babylonian King list suggests that Antiochus was recognized very late: the number of regnal years suggests that the chronicler thought that Antiochus' first full year was 91 SE.
		It is possible that the author of the Babylonian King List counts Antiochus' reign from the moment of Molon's final defeat and ignores his revolt.

		Babylonian Tiles from the West Coast of the USA are one of the countries best contemporary psych bands and produce highly original music with a very distinctive style, quite unlike anything else that you have heard.
		I started putting the band together in '87 and gigged around for a couple of years under the name Babylonian Tiles with a changing cast of band members as I tried to find talented and like-minded musicians who were into both the dark and psychedelic side of things.
		The labels we've been with have never supplied us with any specific sales figures, but judging by the playlists, mail, and email that we receive, people over there are familiar with us and are buying our music.

		The Babylonian king list records that Shalmaneser, a subsequent king, was known by the Babylonian name 'Ululaia.' Pul, who had a similar Babylonian name, must have been the father of Shalmaneser.
		It reads, "And the God of Israel proceeded to stir up 'et' the spirit of Pul, king of Ashur, and 'et' the spirit of Tilgatpelneser, king of Ashur, and he removed them of the Reubenites, and of the Gadites, and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, and he caused them to come to Halah.
		Harmonizing Biblical chronology with the Babylonian king list we find that Tiglath-pileser and Nabonassar were contemporaries.
