His reign lasted 30 years 559 BC – 530 BC. Xerxes overtook his father, Darius the Great, as emperor of the Persian Empire. He tried to invade Greece but failed, just like his father had. Xerxes was the fourth King of Persia. In Judeo-Christian tradition, Xerxes I is said to be the Persian king disguised as Ahasuerus in the biblical book of Esther. Hammurabi was an Amorite king who ruled much of Mesopotamia for a time and is famous for his famous set of laws, the Code of Hammurabi. He was the sixth and arguable the best king of Babylon from 1792 BC to 1750 BC middle chronology. He became the first King of the Babylonian Empire. Current Leaders From Pakistan to Northwest Africa, and with a few exceptions along the way people of the Middle East are ruled by three varieties of leaders, all of them men: authoritarian men, men creeping toward the standard authoritarian model of Middle East rule, or men with more tendency for corruption than authority. The leaders didn't even get the good feeling that they were elected because they just took the job.

   Note: Part II of volume I deals with the history of the Near East from about 3000 to 1750 B.C. In Egypt, a long period of political unification and stability enabled the kings of the Old Kingdom to develop and exploit natural resources, to mobilize both the manpower and the technical skill to build the pyramids, and to encourage sculptors in the production of works of superlative quality. After a period of anarchy and civil war at the end of the Sixth Dynasty the local rulers of Thebes established the so-called Middle Kingdom, restoring an age of political calm in which the arts could again flourish. In Western Asia, Babylonia was the main centre and source of civilization, and her moral, though not always her military, hegemony was recognized and accepted by the surrounding countries of Anatolia, Syria, Palestine, Assyria and Elam. The history of the region is traced from the late Uruk and Jamdat Nasr periods up to the rise of Hammurabi, the most significant developments being the invention of writing in the Uruk period, the emergence of the Semites as a political factor under Sargon, and the success of the centralized bureaucracy under the Third Dynasty of Ur.
