EQ: I can describe the Assyrians and Chaldeans!
The Assyrians were a strong well organized group of people who founded a new civilization in Mesopotamia. This civilization was founded 1,000 year after Hammurabi. The civilization was located north Mesopotamia near the Tigris River. The Assyrians were aggressive warriors, they attacked cities and burned down buildings. The Chaldeans on the other hand wanted to build empire, at this time the were under the leadership of king Nebuchadnezzar. The Chaldeans controlled all of Mesopotamia from 650 BCE to 562 BCE. Most of the Chaldeans were descendants of the Babylonian people who were part of Hammurabi's empire. And one of the many things that Nebuchadnezzar did was rebuild Babylon.
Problem/Solution
The problem with the Chaldeans was the people they had conquered. They lost control of these people easily which led to their downfall. All though the Chaldeans made many useful products like the sundial. And made beautiful things such as the hanging garden that did not help them to keep their people in line. If they didn't conquer as many empires then they wouldn't have made so many enemies.
