Pleiades

The Kassites gained control of northern Babylonia in the early 16th century B.C., sometime after end of the First Dynasty of Babylon, and conquered southern Babylonia by about 1475 B. C. With only minor interruptions, a Kassite dynasty ruled over southern Mesopotamia until ca. 1155 B.C. Long after the Kassite Dynasty came to an end, the Kassites survived as a distinct ethnic group living in the Zagros Mountains until Hellenistic times.
