How were the Assyrians similar to the babylonians?

Answer 1

No.. The Babylonians are a different civlization than the Assyrians! Look in a History Book and learn all about them it's very interesting if you ask me! They are 50/50 the same because they are both a civilization but then again there not ... :)Assyrian and Babylonian are the same people 100% we speak the same language and we have the same Coulter. Babylon was one stat we are all Civilization of Mesopotamia we are same people but in deferent stat. i thought we weren't the same people but if you read the history in Assyrian times when someone is strong he will be the king so who kill the king his the king. i study history in Australia and my teacher said you are the same I'm Assyrian. you going to ask me now why Babylon destroyed Assyria is it because who's the strong he will control the whole empire. if you think that Assyrians are not than why Hammurabi builded the first library in Nineveh in Assyria. and why Assyrian queen Semiramis controlled Babylon she was Babylon queen. if you want the answer dude you will find 100% of stores and you don't know which one you believe but the history is telling us that they are the same people and we still speak the same language. thanks

Answer 2

Technically they are the same. Since the Assyrians are akkadian descendants that would make them the same bloodline/same people.

No. The Assyrians are the descendants of the Akkadians. Both were a constituent of the ancient Mesopotamian civilization.

"Ancient Mesopotamia" includes the period from the late 4th millennium BC until the rise of the Achaemenid Persians in the 6th century BC.

* Early Bronze Age ** Jemdet Nasr Period (ca 3100 BC-2900 BC) ** Early Dynastic city states (ca 2900 BC-2350 BC) ** Akkadian Empire (ca 2350 BC-2193 BC). ** Third dynasty of Ur ("Sumerian Renaissance" or "Neo-Sumerian Period") (ca 2119 BC-2004 BC) * Middle Bronze Age ** Early Assyrian kingdom (20th to 18th c. BC) ** First Babylonian Dynasty (18th to 17th c. BC)

Answer 3

The Assyrians and the Babylonians only had one difference, the Assyrians were in North Mesopotamia and the Babylonians were in South Mesopotamia. Other than that, they are exactly the same. The Assyrians and Babylonians both descended from the Sumerians and Akkadians before them. They carried on their traditions of the cuneiform (first writing system developed by the Sumerians), astronomy art, military strategies and technological achievements.

The Assyrians and Babylonians had always had the same language, the same laws, the same mentalities, and the same religion (polytheistic). The Assyrian Empire and the Babylonian Empire were two sister kingdoms.

Answer 4

Both conquered diverse peoples using whatever force was necessary and then faced the reality of making their empire work by establishing effective government and maintaining peace, stability and prosperity.

They created successive empires in the Middle East, and ruled the by exchanging aristocracies between the conquered areas so that the mass of people would not have friendly rulers who would lead them to revolts against their imperial overlords. This system was subsequently copied by their successor the Persians when they established an empire in their place.

Answer 5

The wars started before the place was named Babylon but the Babylonian Empire was the most powerful state in the ancient world after the fall of the Assyrian empire. The city of Babylon makes its first appearance in our sources after the fall of the Empire of the Third Dynasty of Ur, which had ruled the city states of the alluvial plain between the rivers Euphrates and Tigris for more than a century. Ur was a Sumer city before the Chaldeans took it. Then came changes to the reigns like the names Sumer, Assyria, Akkadian Empire and then Babylonia. The land was the same and in Hammurabi's rule, he kept building cities and armies to protect them.

• Both were vicious warriors in their quest for riches
• Both built great cities where culture and learning were valued

Answer 7
