[edit] Biography and legacy
The Babylonians worshiped Marduk the ruler of a dimension called the Aetherium. They had created a machine called the Infernal Machine, which was used to communicate with Marduk. However, King Nebuchadnezzar dismantled the machine and gave the four pieces needed to power the machine to four trusted disciples. These were Urgon, Taklit, Nub, Azerim. They each created or summoned minions and one great Guardian to guard these parts after they had died. Indiana Jones found all of these parts and destroyed the Guardians. He completed the machine and entered the realm called the Aetherium with Sophia Hapgood of the CIA. Indy destroyed Marduk, which in turn destroyed the whole of the Aetherium.
[edit] Behind the scenes
There were four Babylonian kings named Nebuchadnezzar:
- The first ruled the Babylonian Empire in the 1100s BC.
- The second (605-562 BC) was the Babylonian ruler mentioned in the biblical Book of Daniel, and built the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and conquered Aram and Judah
- The third and fourth rebelled against Darius I of Persia in 522 and 521 BC
It is not clear which historical Nebuchadnezzar is being referenced but the connection of Nebuchadnezzar to the Tower of Babel gives some possible Biblical reference points.
