Talk:Middle Babylonian period

Middle Babylonian Period equals the Kassite Period?

This article treat the Middle-Babylonian period as if it were the Kassite Empire, ended in 1155 B.C. However, the New Babylonian Period occurs at 626 B.C. It's understandable that after the New Assyrian Empire conquest of the entire Near East we cannot talk about a Babylonian period in time, else called as "the Assyrian period" or "the Assyrian domination period", for example. However, after the fall of the Kassites in 1155 B.C. there is a period of centuries where Babylon still exists as an independent polity an even holds a kingdom in Sumer. Even if this article doesn't bypass this completely and expresses that depending on the scholar, the Middle Babylonian Period could mean just Kassite period or includes the posterior dynasties, there is no article that tackles the task of speaking about said dynasties. I suggest changing the name of the article to Babylonian Kassite Period, extending the article to include the non-Kassite Babylonian dynasties that continued to rule over the city state and adjacent lands as an independent polity until the New Assyrian conquest or, lastly, make a new article abording the Babylonian dynasties that are posterior to the Kassite Empire, because you cannot jump from 1155 B.C. to 732 B.C.
