Who was Nebuchadnezzar II? One
Who was Nebuchadnezzar II? One of the most famous Babylonian kings, thanks to his appearances in the Hebrew Bible, Nebuchandezzar II is known to most as a despotic ruler who destroyed Jerusalem, exiled the Hebrew people, and then went mad before acknowledging the superiority of YHWH. But who was he really? In this video, I take a look at the different sources known to us from Mesopotamia, the Hebrew Bible, and Greek historians.
EDIT: Herodotus lived in the 5th c. BCE, not the 4th.
NOTE: This is not intended to be an exhaustive study, and there are things I have left out for the sake of brevity!
