Everything about Nabopolassar totally explained
Nabopolassar (
Akkadian:
Nabû-apal-usur) was the first king (ruled
625-
605 BC) of the
Neo-Babylonian Empire.
He rose into revolt against the
Assyrian Empire (which had ruled Babylon for the previous 200 years) in
626 BC, after the last significant Assyrian king,
Assur-bani-pal, died in
627 BC.
The weakened Assyrians couldn't resist his power and that of the
Medes, who combined to sack the Assyrian capital of
Nineveh in
612 BC, at the
Battle of Nineveh. Nabopolassar was left in control of Nineveh and destroyed the remnants of the Assyrian Empire in
609 BC.
Nabopolassar waged war against
Egypt from
610 BC until his death.
In 605 BC, Nabopolassar took the Assyrian city of
Harran, where Assyrian forces had retreated after the fall of
Nineveh. Later that year, his son
Nebuchadrezzar succeeded him to the throne of
Babylonia and won the
Battle of Carchemish, fought against Pharaoh
Necho of Egypt, shortly before Nabopolassar died.
