The Old Babylonian Empire Through The Late Bronze Age Collapse
In this video we'll continue our exploration of the history of Mesopotamian Civilization by considering the time period from roughly 1792 - 1000 BC. First comes the rise of the Babylonian Empire under Hammurabi and his establishment of his famous Code of Hammurabi. Hammurabi's successors would struggle to hold onto much of the empire and their rule ended for good with the 1595 arrival of the Hittites. From there new power players arose, and soon enough Egypt joined too. The new situation comprised of the Kassites in the south, the Hittites and Mittani in the north, and Egypt storming up the Levantine coast. The Hittites and Assyrians gobbled up Mittani, adding the Assyrians and minusing the Mittani from the major power picture. Then all hell broke loose, the Sea People's, the Elamites came, much chaos, bye bye lots of old world, let's end regimes and see where we start next time, maybe now tiny Assyria will have something to say. TIGLATH PILESER!
