 | | Rim-Sin was unable to exploit his victory, because at the same time in the previously unimportant city of Babylon to the north, the ruler Hammurabi came to the fore. | | | When, about 1595 bc, a Hittite army penetrated as far south as Babylon and carried off Babylonian prisoners and wealth to far-off Anatolia, the kingdom became badly disorganized. | | | A relative chronology is well established for the era from the beginning of the dynasty of Akkad to the end of the 1st Dynasty of Babylon, about 1595 bc. |

| | This was most likely the result of continuous migration from people around the Mediterranean who had been displaced, and in fact, the Sea People, who were also a problem to the Egyptians, perhaps eventually bought the empire crumbling down. | | | This original kingdom was founded by a leader known as Labarna, and the kingdom was expanded by later rulers all across Anatolia and down to the Mediterranean Sea. | | | So strong was this kingdom that in 1595 BC, they were able to raid Babylon. |

| | With the collapse of the Hittite Empire in 1200 BC, no one power was strong enough to dominate the Middle East, and a number of independent states flourished for about 500 years. | | | Although originally a Mediterranean people, there is evidence to suggest that during their long stay in Lebanon and Palestine, the Phoenicians absorbed a fair amount of Semitic blood, being ruled by the Hebrews for a significant period of time. | | | The Semitic Akkad occupation of Sumer led to the establishment of a new kingdom, called (unsurprisingly) "The Kingdom of Sumer and Akkad". |
