Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon:
The Akkadian name of Nebuchadnezzar is Nebu Koduru Osur, which means Nabu, the protector of the borders. Nabu is the god of trade among the Babylonians and he is the son of the god Marduk. The Persians called him Bukhatnezzar, which means “lucky one.” Current academics and historians prefer to call him “Nebuchadnezzar the Great,” or “Nebuchadnezzar II,” because there was another king who used this name before him, namely Nebuchadnezzar I, who ruled Babylon in the twelfth century BC.
King Nebuchadnezzar is considered a world leader throughout history, as he used his genius and intelligence to benefit from the peoples he occupied, as he exhausted most of the human and material capabilities of the peoples he seized to the point of controlling their lives. However, he was distinguished by his religious tolerance and freedom of thought and allowed the occupied peoples to worship their gods. He participated in the religious rituals of the peoples and respected their gods. He was considered the greatest king of Babylon. He was famous for the title of “Cities Resident.” He was a conqueror of cities, not a conqueror. He was distinguished by this because he relied on the advice of his advisors. He acknowledged this in his famous saying: “Excessive pride is destructive to the soul.”
In ancient times, the city of Babylon was considered the center of the world. A clay tablet was recently found in the ruins of the city of Sippar (north of Babylon), which is currently located in the British Museum, dating back to that era. It displays the ancient world, revolving around Babylon.
