Talk:Babylonia

This is a pretty patchy article
AMORITE PERIOD - There is not much detail about the Amorite dynasty, apart from Hammurabi

KASSITE PERIOD - Same as above really, pretty basic and patchy. Someone removed the detailed rev because of "Assyrian bias" lol...i never saw any tbh.

OTHER DYNASTIES - The current version just ignores them

NEO BABYLONIAN EMPIRE - Most of this is about PERSIA???

The whole article is patchy and doesnt contain much detail at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EddieDrood (talk • contribs) 14:26, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Babylonia: Persian?!, so what happened to Iraq?
So why didn't the writer say that Babylonia was completely PERSIAN?!, this includes much fatal errors and remember that you can not trust all websites of the sources you've used (writer), we can not include something from our own, the Iraqi Wikipedians must help us in this or the Iraqi history will go out like this!.
 * Quite probably because Persians are an Iranic Indo-European people, and Babylonians were Semites and remnants of the Sumerians that spoke a non-IE language? Just a thought. HammerFilmFan (talk) 19:01, 29 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Because Babylonia wasn't completely Persian. It continued to use Cuneiform, Aramaic, and develop Babylonian sciences. Persians didn't come en masse to Mesopotamia until 800 A.D. 64.222.113.252 (talk) 20:09, 10 March 2020 (UTC)John Dee

babylonian and aztec
I seen a program on the history chanel saying that the aztecs are actualy babylonian in decent so that would mean that they are not native to america that they migrated here just like the early europeans they had to have done a blood test or something to figure this out can anyone confirm this?68.116.91.31 (talk) 02:52, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Genesis 10:10
The Book of Genesis, 10:10 states "The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Uruk, Akkad and Kalneh, in Shinar. Does this refer to "Babylonia" or "Babylon" (I believe they are the same thing). Twillisjr (talk) 03:14, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
 * No, in this instance the reference is to the city of Babylon, not the region/state of Babylonia. However, Babylon was not located in Sumer (Shinar.)

Gnosticism
Is Gnosticism the religion of Babylonians? Early Iraq is supposedly connected to this religion and a few scholarly articles do mention it as being practiced in Babylonia. Does anyone else know if this is the case and where to add it?

Twillisjr (talk) 14:26, 2 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Not quite. If we read Gnosticism we see it properly refers to a religion that began to spread around the year 100 AD, in the eastern Roman Empire. I think there may be groups in Iraq today that were influenced by them, but it is an anachronism for Babylonia, which is going back to 500-1800 BC.

Pronunciation
The one given was only accurate for some parts of American English. Rather than laundry list the variants, leave it for the Wiktionary entry and remember Wikipedia is. We should only include pronunciations where well-meaning readers could be genuinely confused. Is there anyone who's going to read this as baby-lone-ee-? If so, reïnclude the IPA, but include sourcing and the "British" pronunciation with the short I which is also shared by many Americans. — Llywelyn II   02:57, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

WP:Further reading sections are almost always a bad idea since Wikipedia doesn't have any experts curating them and they gradually and unhelpfully bloat. Kindly restore these to the article as they are used to verify points being made:

If the further reading section is being recreated, include a gloss about each work explaining how exactly these works are more helpful than a Google search to someone learning about the topic. — Llywelyn II   02:57, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

There's also more info at the EB articles (and EB material already in the article that needs to be cited to them), but do keep in mind that some points may be dated. — Llywelyn II   03:14, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
