Neo-Babylonia

Japanese: 新バビロニア - しんバビロニア(英語表記)Neo-Babylonia
Neo-Babylonia
The Chaldeans (Babylonians) destroyed the Assyrian Empire and rebuilt it (625-539 BC). After the death of the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal, Nabopolassar (reigned 626-605 BC) took control of Babylonia and, in alliance with the Median Empire, captured Nineveh (612 BC). Nebuchadnezzar II (reigned 605-562 BC) defeated the Egyptian king Necho II at the Battle of Carchemish and ruled the territory that stretched through Syria and Palestine to the Egyptian border. He also destroyed Jerusalem in 586 BC and took the Jewish people into Babylonian captivity. During this period, Chaldean culture, including astrology and astronomy, flourished, centering around Babylon. However, during the reign of King Nabonidus (reigned 556-539 BC), the Persian army led by the Achaemenid king Cyrus II entered Babylon without a battle (539 BC), and the Neo-Babylonian Empire was destroyed.
