¿Cómo Nabopolasar Colapsó al Imperio Más Brutal y Fundó la Nueva Babilonia?

How did a man without a throne destroy the most powerful empire in ancient history? In 626 BC, a man whose exact origins are still debated by scholars proclaimed himself king of a city occupied by the most brutal army in the known world. No one took him seriously. No one imagined what would come next. His name was Nabopolassar. And in less than two decades, he wiped the Assyrian Empire—the first super-empire in human history—off the map and ushered in a new era that would change the world forever. In this documentary, we explore the four chapters of a story that most of the world is unaware of: the origin of a nameless rebel, the alliance that no one should have survived, the fall of Nineveh—the largest city on Earth—and the legacy that his son Nebuchadnezzar would take to its absolute zenith. All based on real historical sources. All documented on cuneiform tablets that have been buried under the sands of Mesopotamia for over two thousand years. This is not legend. This is not mythology. This is true history—and it's more extraordinary than any fiction. 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don't miss any episodes of history the world forgot to tell. 💬 Tell us in the comments: Where are you watching from?
