<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Nebuchadnezzar III''' ruled over [[Babylon]] (c. 522 BC). He claimed to be the second son of [[Nabonidus]].<br />
<br />
He led a short-lived rebellion against [[Darius I of Persia]], who routed his army in battle at the [[Tigris]] on December 13, 522 BC, and then at the [[Euphrates]] near Zazannu.<ref name="UniversityGoold1972">{{cite book|author1=Harvard University|author2=G.

Darius subsequently besieged the high-walled city of Babylon, succeeding in taking the capital, and Nebuchadnezzar III was put to death.<ref name="Holland2007" /><br />
<br />
His exact identity is uncertain. According to the [[Behistun Inscription]], Darius claimed that he was an impostor called Nidinta-Bel, but some historians consider that he probably did have some connection with the previous Babylonian royal family.{{Citation needed|date=March 2012}}<br />
<br />
He should not be confused with [[Nebuchadnezzar IV]], who led a similar revolt against the [[Persian people|Persians]] around a year later.<br />
