“Got a source?”

Last September I taught a course on the book of Daniel. The paragraph was taken from my notes. Some of the sources I used concerning Nebuchadnezzar were:

“Babylonians” by H.W.F. Scruggs,
“A History of Israel in Old Testament Times” by Siegfried Hermann,
“A History of Israel” by John Bright,
and various research on internet sites.

The legend is that “Hanging Gardens” were a gift from Nebuchadnezzar to Amytis because she was bored with the barreness of Babylon and homesick for the green hills of Media.

Nebuchadnezzar to Amytis,
