Chaldean Empire and Its Civilization

Nebopolessar (625-604 B.C.), the chief of Chaldean tribe invaded and defeated Assyrian tribe and made Babylon as the capital of his kingdom. Nebuchad Najar was the most famous ruler of this tribe. After becoming king in 604 B.C., not only he extended his kingdom, he also invaded Jerusalem and defeated Jews. This incident is also mentioned in Bible. In memory of his queen, he got a garden planted, known as hanging garden.

This civilization was destroyed by Persian Emperor Cyrus.
