'''Nebuchadnezzar I''', was king of the [[Babylonian Empire]] and reigned for 22 years.<ref>''Babylonian King List C''</ref> While debate exists around the exact years, general consensus agrees that they are between 1146–1100 BC. He was the fourth king of the Second Dynasty of [[Isin]] and the Fourth Dynasty of [[Babylon]] of which he was the dynasty's most prominent monarch.
He is best known for his victory over the [[Elamite|Elamites]] and the recovery of the [[Statue of Marduk|cultic idol]] of [[Marduk]]. His other significant deeds include his soon thereafter strengthening the fortifications of [[Babylon]] and his successful war with [[Assyria]] and consequential territorial expansion.
He should not be confused with the [[Bible|Biblically]] significant [[Nebuchadnezzar II]].
