    The way that culture influences history is incredible. Nebuchadnezzar was an incredibly successful king in the sense of achieving power for his realm at the time, but because he happened to be particularly dickish to a then-minor group who went on to found the world’s biggest religion he is remembered as a tyrannical lunatic. The man depicted is little different from Caesar or Alexander in deeds, but remembered in another way altogether

      All’s I’m saying is you can’t spell Nebuchadnezzar without writing NebuCHADnezzar, fuck those wandering tribes and their bullshit cancel culture :D
