C. Insets. The small inset maps show us the three leading cities of the ancient oriental world. The first great monumental city on a large scale was Thebes on the Nile, which reached the height of its splendor as the seat of the Egyptian Empire in the fifteenth century B. C. At this time there were no such large cities or buildings anywhere else, either in Asia or in Europe. Great city building with imposing monumental archi- tecture did not arise in Asia until the supremacy of the Assyrian Emp...ire in the eighth century B. C. The greatest city of western Asia at that time came to be Nineveh, the capital of Assyria on the Tigris (see Map B2). With the destruction of Nineveh in 606 B. C, the leading city of western Asia arose on the site of Babylon which before that time had not been a great city, either in extent or in architecture. This Chaldean Babylon, built chiefly by Nebuchadnezzar, has become familiar to all as the Babylon of the Hebrew captivity. Much of its architectural splendor was adopted from that of Nineveh.
