Answer 1

The key civilization missing from the timeline is Babylonia. Although it is indirectly represented through the reign of Hammurabi (1792–1750 BCE), it is not explicitly mentioned as a distinct civilization. Hammurabi was a significant ruler of Babylon, and the code named after him (the Code of Hammurabi) is one of the most famous artifacts of Babylonian civilization.
