Who was the wisest man in Babylon?

Answer 1

The answer is phrofet Daniel. He was Taken into captivity by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, he serves the king and his successors until the time of the Persian conqueror Cyrus, all the while remaining true to the God of Israel. Most scholars see the book as a cryptic allusion to the reign of the Greek king Antiochus IV Epiphanes (175-164 BCE), and the broad consensus is that Daniel never existed. A clay tablet from Ugarit dated c.1360 BCE mentions a Danel (Daniel) known for his wisdom and righteousness; much later, in the 6th century BCE, the Book of Ezekiel refers to a legendary Daniel famed for wisdom and righteousness; and later again a 2nd-century work called the Book of Jubilees mentions a legendary Daniel who lived before Noah's Flood. While it is unlikely that Ezekiel or the authors of the Book of Daniel were aware of the Canaanite stories, this legendary Daniel, remembered from long ago, became the human hero of the book that bears his name
