King Nebuchadnezzar II was one of the most prominent rulers of Ancient Babylon.
Biography[]
The Babylonians worshipped Marduk, the ruler of a dimension called the Aetherium.[1] According to ancient passages discovered by Indiana Jones, Marduk inspired King Nebuchadnezzar II[2] through writing, urging him to build a "great engine" in order to physically contact Marduk's own, otherworldly realm. Following this, the scripture becomes unclear: "Having no understanding, the rabble hath thrown down his work." It is therefore uncertain whether the masses abandoned the machine in accord with Nebuchadnezzar's orders or against Nebuchadnezzar's orders; much of the controversy regards whether the phrase "his work" refers to the work of Nebuchadnezzar or Marduk. However, it is known that four "trusted" Disciples of Marduk, named Urgon, Taklit, Nub, Azerim, each fled from Babylon with essential pieces of the Machine and created or summoned minions and one great Guardian to guard over these parts after they had died.[1]
Legacy[]
During his excavations of Babylon between 1899 — 1917, Robert Koldeway discovered Nebuchadnezzar's palace as well as the Temple of Marduk.[3]
