    Babylonians were traders who practiced cuneiform writing and had a hereditary monarchy. Assyrians were known as fighters who built massive fortified cities and documented their military exploits in wall sculptures. Persians organized their military with landowning cavalry and infantry soldiers. Key historical periods included the early Babylonian kingdom under King Eannadu in 4500 BC, the Babylonian and Assyrian periods where power shifted between the two, and the Persian period when Cyrus defeated Babylon and expanded the empire until being conquered by Alexander the Great.
