While Nebuchadnezzar II was afflicted and lost his sanity for seven years, his son Amel-Marduk (also known as Evil-Merodach) is believed to have ruled Babylon. Historical records suggest that during Nebuchadnezzar's absence, Amel-Marduk acted as regent and later succeeded him, taking over the throne after Nebuchadnezzar's recovery. This period is noted in the biblical account of Daniel, where Nebuchadnezzar’s condition is described.


Who ruled Babylonia from 605-562 BC?

Babylonia was ruled by King Nebuchadnezzar II from 605 to 562 BC. He is known for his military conquests, including the destruction of Jerusalem and the Babylonian Exile of the Jewish people. Nebuchadnezzar II also oversaw extensive building projects in Babylon, including the famous Hanging Gardens, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. His reign is often considered the height of Babylonian power and culture.


What Wonder of the Ancient World was located in Babylon during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar II?

Accounts indicate that the garden was built by King Nebuchadnezzar, who ruled the city for 43 years starting in 605 BC (There is an alternative story that the gardens were built by the Assyrian Queen Semiramis during her five year reign starting in 810 BC). This was the height of the city's power and influence and King Nebuchadnezzar is known to have constructed an astonishing array of temples, streets, palaces and walls. According to accounts, the gardens were built to cheer up Nebuchadnezzar's homesick wife, Amyitis. Amyitis, daughter of the king of the Medes, was married to Nebuchadnezzar to create an alliance between the two nations. The land she came from, though, was green, rugged and mountainous, and she found the flat, sun-baked terrain of Mesopotamia depressing. The king decided to relieve her depression by recreating her homeland through the building of an artificial mountain with rooftop gardens.
