Dr. Kristen H & Dr. Izzy N

INTRODUCTIONHello! We are Historians, but we

would much rather have you call us by Dr Kristen and Dr Izzy. It would be pretty weird if you just said “Hey Historian!” But that is not what we are here to discuss right now. We have got our degreed from U of M, and that is where we learned all our useful information. We have come to tell you why we think that the Neo-Babylonians were the most accomplished empire. Throughout the time that King Nebuchadrezzar II ruled. Read on to find out.

IMPORTANT INVENTIONSAs historians we think that Neo-Babylonian accomplished the most from there great ideas and smarts. They were great at math and astronomy they created the first sundial, a device for telling time using the sun. The led us to discoveries that led us to the 60 minute hour and the seven day week. They also built an inner and an outer wall and a moat for double the defense of their Empire. The wall was so thick that two chariots could pass through on top of each other.

HANGING GARDENSThe Neo Babylonians also created the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. There were trees, bushes, and many other beautiful plants. It was very beautiful and one of the ancient wonders of the world. Even though the empire was right smack In the middle of the desert, the accomplished to make the Hanging Gardens very beautiful.

ARGUMENTSome people may say “So what’s the big deal about this empire, they only ruled for 75 years!” But we would say back, “Even though the Neo-Babylonians ruled for only 75 years, we still think they still accomplished the most out of all the other empires. Because they made the most inventions and discoveries in our opinion.”

75?

CONCLUSIONWell thanks for listening to our reasons why we think the Neo-Babylonians accomplished more than any other empire. Because of their great inventions, they went down in history and was one of the greatest Empires ever.
