Question

Were some people more important than others in ancient Babylon? Who was important and who was not so important?

Answer 1

Yes, some people in ancient Babylon were more important than others.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ancient Babylon, like many other civilizations, had hierarchies or classes and not everyone had the same importance.

There were three main social classes in ancient Babylon which were

1. The Amelu (the elite),
2. The Mushkenu (free men)
3. Ardu (slave).

Among the elites were nobles, kings, satraps, etc. These men were the most important people in ancient Babylon, followed by the Mushkenu which were the free men, before the Ardu, the slaves and least important of all.
