Kassites: Military Aristocrat - Forgotten Kingdoms

Kassites: Military Aristocrat - Forgotten Kingdoms Book Description The city of Babylon was ruled by many dynasties in its history, and each dynasty left various traces in this city. For this reason, it is possible to encounter very different cultural phases when examining the history of Babylon. The Kassites, who previously lived on the banks of the Frat River, settled there during the ancient Babylonian period, making the Telka settlement their center. They became an important power in the region where they settled. Around 1600 BC, they took over the city of Babylon and established the 3rd Kassite Dynasty. One characteristic of the Kassites spread throughout the city is clearly visible. Many of them became bureaucrats in other dynasties in Babylon. One of these Dynasties was the Isin Dynasty. For this reason, the Kassite people were called aristocrats. In this work, Ali Narçın examines the Kassites, who were growing rapidly and heading towards the kingdom, and includes simple and abbreviated information about them. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
