Detailed explanation-1: -By the time Alexander the Great conquered the Persian Empire in 331 B.C., most of the great cities of Mesopotamia no longer existed and the culture had been long overtaken. Eventually, the region was taken by the Romans in 116 A.D. and finally Arabic Muslims in 651 A.D.

Detailed explanation-2: -Around 605 BC – King Nebuchadnezzar rules in Babylon after his father, Nabopolassar, dies. He rebuilds the city and engages in a number of impressive construction projects, including the famous Hanging Gardens, and builds the Neo-Babylonian Empire.

Detailed explanation-4: -The development of Mesopotamia in the 7th–5th millennium BC was centered around the Hassuna culture in the north, the Halaf culture in the northwest, the Samarra culture in central Mesopotamia and the Ubaid culture in the southeast, which later expanded to encompass the whole region.
