Encarta Answers  | Babylonia: Ancient kingdom in Mesopotamia known originally as Sumer and later as Sumer and Akkad, lying south of modern Baghdad, Iraq. Flourishing from the 18th to 6th century BC, it consisted of a dozen or so cities, surrounded by villages. A large body of Babylonian literature, including the Code of Hammurabi—a collection of laws dating from the 18th century BC—has been found, which has helped in providing a comprehensive picture of Babylonian social structure and economic organization. |
