Nebuchadnezzar (Semi-mythical)

Post by Ethan »

It's seemingly obvious the Old Testament inaccurately portrays Nabû-kudurri-uṣur.

1. Nabû-kudurri-uṣur failed to conquer Egypt.
2. Nabû-kudurri-uṣur failed to capture or destroy Tyre
3. Nabû-kudurri-uṣur was not the father of Belshazzar (who was not a King)

Do the names Nabû-kudurri-uṣur & Nĕbuw-kadan-Osor match?

The name is prefixed נבו , an epithet meaning "Prophet" .

Prophet Chadanasar .

In the LXX, the name is written Ναβου Χοδονοσορ.

Ἀλέξανδρος > ξνδρ > Χσνδρ > Χδνσρ > Χοδονοσορ > כדנאצר
