- The fall of Babylon is a historical event that occurred in 539 BC. This event saw the conquest of Babylon by the Achaemenid Empire under Cyrus the Great and marked the end of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. The fall of Babylon is reported by a number of ancient sources, including the Cyrus Cylinder, the Greek historian Herodotus, as well as a number of books in the Old Testament.
The city of Babylon is located in modern day Iraq and its history stretches back to the 3rd millennium BC, when it was a small port town on the Euphrates River. At that time, Babylon was part of the Akkadian Empire. Over time, the town would grow and develop into one of the most important cities in ancient Mesopotamia . It was during the 18th century BC that Babylon became a major power in the region under the rule of the Amorite king, Hammurabi.
Over time the Kingdom would become weakened by decline and other growing empires and kingdoms would attempt to conquer and destroy its power such as the Assyrians and the Hittites.
Following the death of Ashurbanipal around 627 BC, civil war broke out in the Neo-Assyrian Empire, causing it to weaken. Many subjects of the Neo-Assyrian Empire seized this opportunity to revolt. One of these was a Chaldean chief by the name of Nabopolassar, who formed an alliance with the Medes, Persians, Scythians, and Cimmerians. This coalition succeeded in destroying the Neo-Assyrian Empire.
Having gained independence from the Assyrians, Nabopolassar established the Neo-Babylonian Empire, with Babylon as its capital. When he died, he left his son with immense stores of wealth and a strong Babylonian city. This ruler set the groundwork for the impressive Neo-Babylonian Empire, leaving his son Nebuchadnezzar II with the ideal circumstances to bring Babylonia to the forefront of ancient society. And that is exactly what the son did.
The Neo-Babylonian Empire reached its zenith during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar II. During Nebuchadnezzar II’s reign, which lasted until around 562 BC, the Neo-Babylonian Empire was in control of Babylonia, Assyria, parts of Asia Minor, Phoenicia, Israel, and northern Arabia.
Nebuchadnezzar II is most remembered today for a handful of important acts. Firstly, he is documented for driving the Jews out of Babylon, capturing the city of Jerusalem in 597 BC, and destroying the First Temple and that city in 587 BC. He is also generally credited with the construction of two major features of Babylon - the Ishtar Gate in 575 BC and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, which are considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. There is, however, some contention if Nebuchadnezzar II can really receive recognition for creating the Hanging Gardens.

Thank you
The beginning of this video is ripped off verbatim from the Knowledge Is Power YT channel video about the fall of Babylon. Exact same script.
What’s that about?
Remarkable vídeo. The invasion of Babilonia was finally acepted in peace by the population according the cylinder.
Thanks for watching and for commenting!
thanks!
The archeological evidence of the hanging gardens seems to be that this was a construct of the Neo Assyrian empire at Nineveh and after the conquest of the Neo Assyrians, the area of Nineveh became part of the Neo Babylonian empire. The hanging gardens were never in the city of Babylon. The evidence is on relief carvings from Nineveh at the British Museum and the evidence on the ground at the site where a river was partially diverted for a water supply to Nineveh, with inscriptions in Cuneiform and Aramaic on a mountainside there. It is these inscriptions that permitted a breakthrough in the translations of Cuneiform tablets all over Mesopotamia, the Hittites and even to the Amana tablets, in Egypt.
Do a video on Polynesia.
8:32 that painting is beautiful.
Achaemenid Empire is a true spiritual and the greatest Empire in the history of the world and some historians say that if Cyrus The Great wouldn't had happened then maybe there would have been be no Christianity and Judaism in the world
yes, but he make a religion! and of course when you have the Sibyl of Persia( known as the Babylonian, Hebrew or Egyptian Sibyl) , to prophesy to Cyrus the coming of the Messiah..it is a one-way street!
@luke lifter hi!This is are sensitive issues..we want Rabbi, Priest and Dervish for the spiritual details!...or the prophecies of Sibylla, where everyone derives their "truth" from there !! the Sibylline prophecies about the coming of the Messiah are located in the Vatican,and when Constantine the ''Great''from Rome, read the Sibyls, he left behind Arrianism,and give his hand to unik truth!
@luke lifter polytheistic judaism
@luke lifter dont know but kabbalah must have remnants of polytheism still in it
@luke lifter thx too bro!!.the 10 Sibyls began to prophesy at the same time, the coming of the Word!and after Cyrus sent the''Three Wizards''(Maharag Ram from India,Gasparian from Armenia,and Valtasassur from desert) to identify the prophecy of Sibyls..
Cyrus the Great! Was truly Great!
5:19 When did Nebuchadnezzar drive the out the Jews in Babylon? I thought he moved the Jews into Babylon, is that not right? Wasn't it the Persians who later facilitated the return of the Jews back to Judea?
Could do with a bit of an Epilogue. It’s not as if Babylon ceased to be an important city under the Achaemenids or Alexander. It presumably lost large amounts of population to Ctesiphon and by the time of the founding of Baghdad was just a small town, right?
What do you think of dr michael heiser?
Please cover the Volcae
❤❤❤❤
BCE versus BC?
Who are the wizards?
How can he drive them out of Babylon when The Bible says that he took them captive an brought them too Babylon for 70 years.

He is chosen by our God and after that the supporters never were heard of and the state destroyed . How nice... where in this world do we find similar people nowadays ? (->pointing at east)
Who says it fell ? hehe
Exactly. Why does the pope visit and pay homage to the ziggurat in Iraq? The Vatican is a continuation of Rome and Babylon.

@@jackbeevor6594 how can I get more information about him visiting? Like what do I Google.. thanks in advance 😊
maybe it's a future story about neo phoenix the phoenix prince.
Babylon had outlying colonies including the arabian peninsula. But Babylon didn't die. Its colonies reconstituted its in the first century ad. It persists to the present.
Example please?
I've found it very interesting, although i dont know if there is a legit connection with etymology or whatever.. that Sin, the god(dess?, ive seen things referring to Nanna Sin) of the moon, which is so deeply connected to womanhood, is also a word used in christianity for transgressions against their god(usually man-coded, or outright said to be a father/man). that women are the original "sin"ner, and the night, the moon, the blood of women is demonized/othered.. it really feels like a red pill/ propaganda reveal to me.
also Nanna Sin's association with snakes.
@@busimagen Yes, in German it has changed a bit less and is "Sünde". The favoured theory seems to be that of Latin origin from "sons --> sontis".
Yes sin entered through a woman but it was also through a woman that the Savior was born. And without her, God’s plan of redemption wouldn’t have been possible
Driving the Jews out of Babylon???! Guess I’ll skip the rest🤣🤪😂
Correct me if I’m wrong but Babylonians were sons of Ham, so why the inaccurate depiction???
I DON'T ACCEPT BCE, I ACCEPT BC.
In ancient history and old testament what you have called Israel in the video it was called Palestine. Jerusalem was in Judah kingdom but not Israel. The same Jewish people taken by Nabokidnazzer army to Babylon as slaves, they had been reached by the Persians predecessors from Kingdom of Korush and made an agreement to open the strong gates of Babylon after every one will be drunk in the night of a national festival, and so it happened, the long siege on Babylon did not succeed but treason did, that is why they entered withoutca fight and when they entered the destroyed, burned, killed, and wiped out the civilization. The deal between Persians and Jews was from West bank of Euphrates until Egypt this is Isreal dream, and from East bank of Euphrates to middle Asia this is the dream of Persians. And forever they are allies.
This guy is so funny in the end🤣
Totally not reliable info tho, they explain from a biblical view and dont mention other books that have mentioned babylon at all
Can you point out some said resources
The Bible has been proven as a reliable and historical reference.
But it is accurate tho? The Bible is accurate in terms of history

Read the scripture, its why Lots wife looked back.
Sad Iraqi noises
90% of Iraqis don't care about pre Arab pre Islamic Mesopotamia. Even though Iraqis are practically Mesopotamian.
Assyrians and Aramaeans are a minority so they somewhat care.
@@noahtylerpritchett2682 Almost right. The Assyrians and Arameans are the true Iraqi’s. The Arabs you see today have nothing to do with ancient Mesopotamia/Babylon.
PAPAZA TAKLA ATTIRAN IMAM You mean sad Assyrian and Arameans noises, Arabs are originally not from what’s now called Iraq
@@titanmode3888 ironically most Iraqis are just Arabized.
Not Arab tribals.
Judging by facial features alone I'm pretty sure my girlfriend is Assyrian or Aramaean or some other Mesopotamian ethnicity and not a Arab but culturally Arabized.
Same with other Iraqis. Arabized populations but by blood aren't Arab.
@@noahtylerpritchett2682 I don’t think so. Assyrians and Arameans can’t become muslims, they will choose death over concerting to Islam.
My red beard a Jewish brother why don’t you make a video about where your people came from then let me know who else is related to you do you hate more than the Arab

U can summon ancient jinns that lived during the time of the Babylon empire. The rituals are in the book call shams al ma'arif. All prominent magicians use this book to contact jinns for magic and to gain knowledge of history
Israel(Samaria) was destroyed by Assyria so there was no israel when the Babylonians took over Palestine (Palashtu in Assyrian-Babylonian.)
Israel was the northern kingdom of the ancient Israelites. The southern kingdom of the Israelites, whose capitol was Jerusalem, was Judah, from whom the Jews descend. The kingdom of Israel split in 2, Israel and Judah, during the reign of Solomon's son, King Rehoboam. It is the southern kingdom of the Israelites, Judah, that was conqured by Babylon.
@@beholdenages Correct. By the time Babylonians conquered the region, Israel as a kingdom no longer existed. The name "Israel" is a religious term really, a naming method where lands are named after biblical figures like Germany being called Ashkenaz.
@TRUTH CENSORED Really? Can you you clarify it ? It is curious because I always thought he was Hebrew by origins. I reckon the Hebrews weren't so preeminent like is often said.
Why do you guys never show black people’s the stories that are mostly black especially Bible stories, I like this channel but that upsets me the way ppl do these people history and I’m not even black!
You need to worship Jesus and repent of your sins. Jesus is God and He is coming down soon.
InshaAllah 🙌🏼💯
