Babylonia was an ancient Akkadian speaking Semitic nation state and cultural region based in central-southern Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq). It emerged as an independent state circa 1894 BC, the city of Babylon being its capital. Assyria was centered on the Upper Tigris river, in northern Mesopotamia (present day northern Iraq). The Assyrians came to rule powerful empires at several times. It was named for its original capital, the ancient city of Aššur (Akkadian: Chaldea or Chaldæa (/kælˈdiːə/), from Greek Χαλδαία, Chaldaia; Akkadian: māt Ḫaldu; Hebrew: כשדים, Kaśdim;[1] Aramaic: ܟܠܕܘ, Kaldo) was a marshy land located in south eastern Mesopotamia which came to rule Babylon briefly. Tribes of Semitic settlers who arrived in the region from the 10th century BC became known as the Chaldeans or the Chaldees. ang mga kontribusyon ng kabihasnang mesopotamia pagdating sa larangan ng kaalaman sa teknolohiya ay paggamit ng araro, pagpapalayok ang gamit ang gulong (wheel-spun pottery), metalurhiya ng bronse at paggamit ng perang pilak. sa larangan naman ng matematika, naimbento rin nila ang pagbilang na batay sa sampu o decimal system, ang hugis na bilog ay hinati nila sa 360 degrees at pagkatuklas ng kalendaryong lunar. isa rin sa kontribusyon nila ay ang sistema ng pagsulat na kung tawagin ay cuneiform.
