King Nebuchadnezzar II (c. 605 BC – c. 562 BC) was the most prominent ruler of the Neo-Babylonian Empire and played a crucial role in shaping Babylon’s legacy.
Determined to protect his city from enemies, Nebuchadnezzar transformed Babylon into a symbol of power and grandeur. He commissioned the construction of temples, palaces, and defensive walls using durable kiln-fired bricks rather than the more common sun-dried bricks, which were less stable.
