aratta came before
which means babylon is what the semites called babylon
and chaldea
is what the greeks called babylon
the records show otherwise
Babylonians spoke Akkadian
also babylon was a state
which is East Semitic
not a country
or anthing like this
Also, why is nothing embedding?
it grew to become comparable to a city state
well babylon didnt exist in the consciousness for a good few hundred years
when the hammurabi ruled
but
when the assyrians conquered them
so in the historiographic record
that doesnt mean what it seems like you're saying. which i cant even tell if its your words tbh bc you learned from from
we see babylon being referred to
and then when it reemerges
that person you like
lol
people are referring to it as chaldea
do you just not know what aratta is then
or
i cant tell how this isnt getting across

ok like aratta has nothing to do with babylon
it was part of southern mesopotamia
which babylon was the head of
but its not babylon
Babylon itself took the place of Sumer
southern mesopotamia is often thought of as babylonia
