The statement you provided is historically inaccurate. The Neo-Babylonian Empire, also known as the Chaldean Empire, began with the rise of King Nabopolassar in 626 BCE, not with Cyrus the Great. Cyrus rose to power later, when he founded the Achaemenid Empire, which conquered Babylon in 539 BCE. The Neo-Babylonian Empire is known for its cultural achievements and the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar II, who is famous for the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BCE.
