Nabopolassar (/ˌnæboʊpəˈlæsər/; Akkadian: Nabû-apal-uṣur; c. 658 BC – 605 BC) was a king of Babylonia and a central figure in the fall of the Assyrian Empire. The death of Assyrian king Ashurbanipal around 627 BC resulted in political instability. In 626 BC, a native dynasty arose under Nabopolassar, a former Assyrian official. Nabopolassar made Babylon his capital and ruled over Babylonia for a period of about twenty years (626–605 BC). He is credited with founding the Neo-Babylonian Empire. By 616 BC, Nabopolassar had united the entire area under his rule.
After the death of King Assurbanipal around 627 BC, the Babylonians revolted. Nabopolassar claimed the throne of Babylon in 626 BC. He battled Assurbanipal's son, Ashur-etil-ilani for control of Babylonia. Nabopolassar formed an alliance with Cyaxares of the Medes to confront the Assyrians and their Egyptian allies. By 615 BC he had seized Nippur. He then led his forces to assist the Medes besieging the city of Ashur, but the Babylonian army did not reach the battlefield until after the city had fallen.
Assyria fell to a combined assault by Nabopolassar of Babylon and Cyaxeres of Media, and with its fall the Babylonians began to dominate the region of Syria and Israel. During those years, Josiah of Judah attempted to restore proper worship of the God of Israel, but his brilliant career was cut short in battle with Necho II of Egypt.

A video appendix to accompany the series When Ancient Jerusalem Was Destroyed. Appendix 2 covers the founding of the Neo-Babylonian dynasty by King Nabopolassar. Coming to power in 626 BC, Nabopolassar ruled for 21 years until his death in 605 BC. His deathblow to Assyria in 609 BC was the start of a 70-year period of Babylonian ascendency and the battle of Carchemish in 605 BC cemented his hold of Judah and other nations in that region.

I rope-a-dope Washington while I push my economic advantage. The war is causing minimal disruption to my base economy, so I can afford to wear Washington down, accumulate a couple of great generals, and then strike him when war weariness starts to hurt him. Also, I don't want to lose my economic advantage relative to Gilgamesh and the Khmer, who don't seem to care enough to send their armies. The alternative is to switch to war civics and draft, which really isn't my style of play. -Version: BTS 3.19 (with BUG) -Difficulty: Emperor -Map Script: Tectonics (60% Water, Standard Size) -Players: 8 (7 AI) Other Settings: -No Barbarians -Random Events On -Huts On
