Neo-Babylonian
Nebuchadnezzar, exile, late astronomy.
Babylon's last great flowering. Nebuchadnezzar II rebuilds the city with the Ishtar Gate and the legendary hanging gardens; he also exiles the Judeans, an event recorded both in the Hebrew Bible and in his own tablets. Babylonian astronomers reach unprecedented precision in tracking the planets.
