Nebuchadnezzar was the oldest son and successor of Nabopolassar,who delivered Babylon from its three centuries of vassalage to its fellow Mesopotamian state, Assyria, and in alliance with the Medes, Persians, Scythians, and Cimmerians, laid Nineveh in ruins. According to Berossus, some years before he became king of Babylon, Babylonian dynasties were united. There are conflicting accounts of Nitocris of Babylon being either his wife or daughter. Nabopolassar was intent on annexing the western provinces of Syria (ancient Aram) from Necho II (whose own dynasty had been installed as vassals of Assyria, and who was still hoping to help restore Assyrian power), and to this end dispatched his son westward with a large army. In the ensuing Battle of Carchemish in 605 BC, the Egyptian andAssyrianarmy was defeated and driven back, and the region of Syria and Phoenicia were brought under the control of Babylon. Nabopolassar died in August that year, and Nebuchadnezzar returned to Babylon to ascend the throne. After the defeat of the Cimmerians and Scythians, previous allies in the defeat of Assyria, Nebuchadnezzar's expeditions were directed westward. The powerful Median empire lay to the north. Nebuchadnezzar's political marriage to Amytis of Media, the daughter of theMedianking, had ensured peace between the two empires.

The famous Chaldean king who rebuilt the city of Babylon was Nebuchadnezzar II. He is known for constructing grand buildings in Babylon, including the Hanging Gardens, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
After the Chaldean dynasty, particularly under King Nebuchadnezzar II, Babylon experienced a period of cultural and architectural flourishing, marked by the construction of the famed Hanging Gardens and the Ishtar Gate. However, this prosperity was short-lived; Babylon fell to the Persian Empire under Cyrus the Great in 539 BCE. This conquest led to the incorporation of Babylon into a larger imperial framework, ultimately diminishing its political autonomy and influence. The fall of Babylon marked the end of Chaldean dominance in the region.
