Ancient Mesopotamia, known as the birthplace of civilization, housed ancient empires that played a significant role in shaping the course of human history. The Sumerians, renowned for their groundbreaking ideas, the Akkadians, who conquered vast territories, and the Babylonians, known for their majestic achievements, all left an indelible imprint on the world. The legal code established by Hammurabi, the military might of the Assyrians, and the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon are testaments to their cultural prowess.
