Nebuchadnezzar, the ruler of the Chaldeans (from 624-582BCE), made Babylon a city of wonders. he built beautiful structures. Examples are the Ishtar Gate, made of glazed bricks, and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

It was also during the rule of Nebuchadnezzar when the Chaldeans conquered the Jews. In a long siege, the Chaldeans captured Jerusalem and sent thousands of Jews as slaves in Babylon. This event came to be known in history as the Babylonian Captivity of the Jews. The Jews never denounced their belief and their religion in spite of their bitter experience under Babylonian rule.

Biblically, Nebuchadnezzar conquered the Egyptians during the 21st year of his reign(Jeremiah 46:2), as mentioned above, conquered Judah (2 Kings 24:11-17 / 2 Chronicles 36:5-10)and for seven years, God made him go crazy and 'eat vegetation like a bull' because of his haughtiness (Daniel 4:31-33).
