For some reason I feel sad for fall of Neo Babylonian Empire.

Wow. I never imagined Nebopolessar to be a "lowly" pious man, divinely appointed as liberator from Assyrian oppression. It's absolutely fascinating that that's what he thought of himself!

I guess praying to Marduk doesn't really work after all.

I heard once a theory that stated that Nabonidus' father descended from the sargonid assyrian kings

Could you do a specific history of the city of Damascus at some point? As one of the oldest cities in the world I'm guessing there'd be a lot of really cool history to it :)

Babylonian science, namely astronomy and mathematics is rather well known.<br>But you mentioned there was also philosophy... Since in the West philosophy usually starts with the Greeks I wonder if you could make an episode about pre Greek philosophy in other ancient cultures of the area. <br>I (and probably most others) have never heard of any of those before.

the title King of Babylon was used after Babylon's fall. the Persians, Macedonians, Seleucids, and most of the Parthians took the title of being the king of Babylon. this lasted until 224 AD.
