Nebuchadnezzar II

Nebuchadnezzar II (reigned 605-562 BCE) was the greatest king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. He conquered Jerusalem twice (597 and 586 BCE), destroying Solomon's Temple and deporting the Judean population, events that profoundly shaped the development of Judaism. He transformed Babylon into one of the most magnificent cities of antiquity, building the Ishtar Gate, the Etemenanki ziggurat (the probable inspiration for the Tower of Babel), and possibly the Hanging Gardens. He appears extensively in the Hebrew Bible as the archetypal powerful foreign king.
