Siege of Tyre,6th Century BC

The prosperity of Tyre attracted the attention of King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon who lay siege to the city for thirteen years without breaking their defenses. During this siege most of the inhabitants of the mainland city abandoned it for the relative safety of the island city. Nebuchadnezzar II (605 BC - 562 BC) was the longest-reigning and most powerful monarch of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. The Bible remembers him as the destroyer of Solomon's Temple and the initiator of the Babylonian captivity. He is an important character in the Book of Daniel, a collection of legendary tales and visions dating from the 2nd century BC.Cyclopedia of Universal History by John Clark Ridpath, 1890 (cropped and cleaned).
