Babylon Rebuilding
- Dates
- 681–676 BC
Sennacherib destroyed the city in 689 BC, but its reconstruction began right after his death and was supported by his successor.
In detail
Sennacherib became so incensed at these frequent rebellions that he systematically and thoroughly destroyed the city in 689 b.c., intending that it should not be rebuilt. However, public opinion even in his homeland was against so rash a deed, and the rebuilding of the city began immediately after Sennacherib's death.
