This gallery contains Iraqi antiquities from the middle of the second millenium BC when the Kassite dynasty ruled the city of Babylon and then built a new capital called Dur Kurigalzu (Akarkuf). The Kassite dynasty were foreigners who entered Iraq from the northeast, but they adopted the ancient Iraqi civilization. Ancient Babylonian cuneiform continued as the formal language in the country, and there was also continuity in religion, literature, sciences, and manufacturing.
