The Neo-Babylonian Empire reached its peak under the rule of King Nebuchadnezzar II, who reigned from approximately 605 to 562 BCE. He is well known for his military conquests, extensive building projects, including the reconstruction of Babylon and the Hanging Gardens (which are often debated as historical fact), as well as for his role in the Babylonian captivity of the Jewish people. Nebuchadnezzar II significantly expanded the empire and made Babylon a center of culture and architecture during his reign.
