Most people know Nebuchadnezzar II from the Bible and the Hanging Gardens, but his real legacy is far more complex. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Neo-Babylonian Empire — its rise after the fall of Assyria, the ambitious building projects of Nebuchadnezzar, the Ishtar Gate, the Etemenanki ziggurat, and the city of Babylon as the world's largest metropolis. They also discuss Nabonidus, the last king, his obsession with the moon god Sin, and the empire's sudden collapse to Cyrus the Great. How did Babylon fall so quietly, and why did the Persians treat it so gently? We look at the archaeological and textual evidence, including the Cyrus Cylinder, to understand an empire that shaped both history and legend. #NeoBabylonianEmpire #NebuchadnezzarII #Babylon #IshtarGate #Etemenanki #HangingGardens #Nabonidus #CyrusCylinder #CyrusTheGreat #Mesopotamia #Iraq #AncientHistory #BabylonianExile #Marduk #Sin #Archaeology #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
