Babylonia, Ancient civilization in Mesopotamia
Babylonia was a state in ancient Mesopotamia famed for its law, architecture and science.
It existed from the 18th century BC and fell around the 6th century BC to the Persian Empire.
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, is a testament to their horticultural and engineering prowess.
Today, the remains of Babylonia can be viewed in modern-day Iraq, near Baghdad.
Babylonia is often associated with the Tower of Babel, a structure tied to biblical accounts.
