Nebuchadnezzar Wealth Revealed In Ancient Cylinder Record
A Philadelphia Museum discovery presents Nebuchadnezzar’s own account of immense wealth poured into temples and palaces. The clay cylinder details gilded doors, bronze roofs, solid gold doors, and vast treasures, along with massive city defenses and ships loaded with riches. The inscription, likely penned by the king, contrasts his grandeur with biblical and Herodotus accounts and notes divine favor and military ramparts to defend Babylon.
