The Kassites

کاسییەکان
The Kassites were an ancient people who ruled over Babylonia (modern-day southern Iraq) for several centuries, roughly from around 1595 BCE to 1155 BCE. They are known primarily for their role in the fall of the Old Babylonian Empire, their eventual rule over Babylon, and their significant cultural contributions during their dynasty.— from Summary of Kassites, written by Zagrosian ·
