[[Nebuchadnezzar II]] was the longest reigning king of the Chaldean dynasty in Babylon and was committed to conquest via the destruction of nations in order to rebuild his empire with great opulence and magnificence to honor [[Marduk]]. Thus, Babylon was the home of the god Marduk considered to be at the center of the world, and Nebuchadnezzar's devotion to [[Marduk]] was meant to be a celebration of Babylonian victory and his supreme greatness. Thus, he remains infamous for his military campaigns in the Levant region, and the immense building projects such as the recreation of the [[Tower of Babel]], the Hanging Gardens and the Ishtar Gate, all monuments created as the testament to his superiority as the chosen King and ruler by the God [[Marduk]]. Special attention was given to the creation of the Processional Way for the Festival of Marduk during which the God’s golden statue was paraded through the city then out through the Ishtar Gate, ornately decorated with images of dragons, lions, bulls, griffins and flowers. | [[Nebuchadnezzar II]] was the longest reigning king of the Chaldean dynasty in Babylon and was committed to conquest via the destruction of nations in order to rebuild his empire with great opulence and magnificence to honor [[Marduk]].

Nebuchadnezzar invaded and destroyed the Kingdom of Judah in which its capital was Jerusalem, pillaging and destroying the Solomon Temple as the location of the grail 2D Stargate, while capturing its local population and forcing the elites and rulers of the region to be deported to Babylonia. Many of the local population in Judah were not necessarily Jewish or Canaanites that used blood sacrifices as worship, but were covertly practicing Essenes. Thus, several of their leaders, wise men and priests were also taken to Babylon, and as previously noted, one of those holy wise men was [[Ezekiel]]. | [[Nebuchadnezzar II]] invaded and destroyed the Kingdom of Judah in which its capital was Jerusalem, pillaging and destroying the Solomon Temple as the location of the grail 2D Stargate, while capturing its local population and forcing the elites and rulers of the region to be deported to Babylonia.
