He rose into revolt against the Assyrian Empire (which had ruled Babylon for the previous 200 years) in 626 BC , after the last really powerful Assyrian king, Assur-bani-pal , died in 627 BC . The weakened Assyrians couldn't resist his power and that of the Medes , who combined to sack the Assyrian capital of Nineveh in 612 BC . Nabopolassar was left in control of Nineveh and destroyed the remnants of the Assyrian Empire in 609 BC . Nabopolassar waged war against Egypt from 610 BC until 605 BC . In 605 BC his son Nebuchadrezzar won the Battle Of Carchemish shortly before Nabopolassar died. Nebuchadrezzar succeeded him to the throne of Babylon. EXTERNAL LINKS
