Abstract
The Relations Of Babylonian - Egyptian At Babylonian modern era(626 to 539 BC). Tension and hostility because of competition that took place between the two parties, for control of the Levant (the country Haty in Babylonian texts) that poses this region of the importance of economic for the two countries, especially Babylonia, which was in dire need of raw materials like ( wood and stone and metal) necessary that you use in construction projects Urban by the Babylonians Kings This is in addition to the Medes and later The Alakhmanin who controlled the trade routes located on the northern front and north-eastern means depriving State Babylonian sources of raw materials, which was obtained by the Kings Assyrians from this area in the past, so the face of all of King Nbobasr and his son King Nebuchadnezzar his attention to the Western Front (Syria, Palestine and the Lebanese coast and East Jordan) to compensate for this shortfall in raw materials. It seems the events that Egyptians who aspire also in control of the region have realized from the first glance aspirations Babylonian king Nbobasr toward the Levant so stood with Assyria all have the power to save Assyria from falling by the Babylonians and Medes perhaps under an agreement between the parties is that their attempts went unheeded, as the Babylonians with their allies succeeded the Medes in the destruction of the Assyrian state. After that, the Babylonians tightly controlled the Levant through military campaigns, carried out by each of the King Nbobasr and King Nebuchadnezzar II in order to ensure the subordination of their state, and the Egyptian stand against greed. Even managed Nebuchadnezzar II in one of his military campaigns of inflicting a crushing defeat in Egypt what persuaded Egypt's Pharaoh Ahmose II apart from the Levant to devote himself to the conditions of his country's domestic deteriorating so experienced political relations from the reign of this pharaoh with the successors of King Nebuchadnezzar II breakthrough in the relationship, particularly in the reign of the last Babylonian king period Enbaunid saw his clear affinity between the two countries, and the close ties of friendship and culminated in the Treaty contract between the parties in order to stand against the Persian ambitions. We have tried through this research highlight the natural political relations that prevailed between the Babylonian and Egyptian depending on what was in the historical texts of old, which seems to which the economic factor has had an important role in the outbreak of hostility between the two sides, In conclusion I hope I have and hyped in my humble,and from God reconciled.
