	Nabonidus
		We are still on track with these deadlines and presented the Nabonidus Desktop version at the Computing Applications in Archaeology conference in Berlin earlier this month.
		Nabonidus is a free tool for the archaeological community - it is a website for the storage, management, manipulation and publication of excavation data.
		Nabonidus saves enormous amounts of work and time for archaeologists both onsite and during post excavation research.

		When the Persian threat of Cyrus the Great grew strong, Nabonidus allied himself with Croesus of Lydia and Amasis II of Egypt, but to no avail.
		Nabonidus' scholars preserved information valuable to modern archaeologists.
		Cuneiform records indicate that Belshazzar was Nabonidus' son and his coregent during the last years of Babylon.

	Cyrus takes Babylon (530 BCE)
		In addition, we learn that Nabonidus was not in Babylon for ten years.
		From year seven until year sixteen, Nabonidus stayed in the oasis of Temâ in the Arabian desert, from where he could easily go as far south as the oasis Iatribu (modern Medina).
		Ninth year (547/546): Nabonidus, the king stayed in Temâ; the crown prince, his officials and his army were in Akkad.

		Nabonidus, who had made enemies of the powerful Marduk priesthood, was preparing for his return and for the re-establishment of his kingship, but he needed reliable intelligence from Babylon to judge the strength of his enemies and the most opportune time for his return.
		After his relocation, and with the protection of Nabonidus removed, the Aaronid priests, who had become allied with Belshazzar and the aristocratic Marduk priesthood, persuaded them to countermand these lenient laws, as the Aaronids were intent upon suppressing another resurgence of the hated cult of their "fathers".
		Scholars generally agree that this is a reference to the semi-voluntary exile of Nabonidus and that the king Daniel was a counselor for was actually King Nabonidus.

		The god of the moon rewarded her piety with a long life--she lived to be 103--and she was buried in Harran with all the honours of a queen in 547.
		Nabonidus raided Cilicia in 555 and secured the surrender of Harran, which had been ruled by the Medes.
		Aside from some of the inscriptions of the kings, especially Nabonidus, which were not comparable from a literary standpoint with those of the Assyrians, the main efforts were devoted to the rewriting of old texts.

		Nabonidus (Akkadian Nabû-nāʾid) was the last King of Babylon, who ruled the Neo-Babylonian Empire from 556 BC to 539 BC.
		His reign was characterized by his lack of interest in the politics and religion of his kingdom, preferring instead to study the older temples and antiquities in his region.
		Nabonidus, whose relationship with the previous Chaldean Kings of Babylon is unclear, came to the throne in 556 BC by overthrowing the youthful king Labashi-Marduk.

		The first portion of the tablet states that in the sixth year of Nabonidus, Astyages (Istuvegu) was defeated by Cyrus, and that from the seventh till the eleventh year Nabonidus resided in Tema (a western suburb of Babylon) whilst the king's son was with the army in Accad, or Northern Babylonia.
		Nor was Nabonidus or Baltasar a son or descendant of Nabuchodonosor.
		Nabonidus was the son of Nebobaladhsuikbi, and was a usurper of the throne.

	Intute: Arts and Humanities - Full record details for Nabonidus archaeology
		Nabonidus allows to have a dynamic preliminary report ready in real time after recording the data on-site, but this is also its main drawback: some excavators may prefer not to publish information on new findings as they are found, in which case storing data on a public server would not be advisable.
		Nabonidus is free for universities and non-profit organisations; a subscription fee is required for commercial use.
		Nabonidus is not yet fully functional at the time of the review, but is complete enough for its functionality to be independently assessed.

	Daniel in the Historians' Den
		Nabonidus fled, although he apparently was later captured and killed in Babylon.
		Nabonidus had a son -- Belshazzar (or Bel-shar-usur in Babylonian)--who apparently ruled for a decade as crown prince while Nabonidus was in Arabia.
		What Nabonidus did in Arabia is unknown, but the story of "Nebuchadnezzar's" insanity may be a reference to a bout of insanity or lengthy depression in Nabonidus, who apparently was very unpopular in Babylon -- or so the victorious Persians later claimed.

		Actually the chief interest of Nabonidus was not in these shrines and he incurred the anger of his priests for neglecting the annual visit of the E-sag-ila shrine which every Babylonian king was expected to make on the New Year's Day.
		Nabonidus objected that the temple was surrounded by the Manda, a generic term for the northern barbarians.
		The oracle assured Nabonidus that the Manda were no longer in the vicinity of Haran, and that it would therefore be safe for Nabonidus to enter the city.

	BIBLE STUDY MANUALS: BELSHAZZAR
		If Nabonidus was old enough and skilled enough to be the ruler of a city during Nebuchadnezzar's 8th year, then certainly by the 20th year he might be considered capable of handling the responsibility of the Babylonian treaty-maker.
		The eldest son of Nabonidus was Belshazzar and a clearer statement of the co-regency of Nabonidus and Belshazzar could hardly be expected.
		The Nabonidus Chronicle is clear in stating that in the last year of Nabonidus' reign he returned to Babylon and celebrated the New Year's festival although it continues by saying that he fled, later returned to Babylon and was taken captive.

		Nabonidus ignored the god Marduk and during his absence from Babylon he failed to observe the important religious new year festivals.
		Nabonidus returned to Babylon after it was occupied by the Persians and he and his son, Belshazzar, were slain by the Persian army.

	The Loss of an Empire by Tim Case
		The Nabonidus Chronicle elaborates: "In the month of Arahsamna, the third day, Cyrus entered Babylon, green twigs were spread in front of him – the state of peace was imposed upon the city.
		Nabonidus actions left him hated by both the priesthoods and the general population.
		So great was this loathing that Nabonidus was forced into a self imposed exile while leaving his drunken lout of a son, Bel-shar-usur, (the biblical Belshezzar) in Babylon as co-regent and in charge of empire's officials and the Babylonian Army.

	A Commentary on Cyrus (Site not responding. Last check: )
		At the peak of the festival the statue of Bel-Marduk, the king of the Babylonian gods, was brought from the temple into the street and the king was supposed to clasp the statue‘s hand.
		If it is true that Nabonidus was absent for ten years then this ritual was seriously neglected (it is possible that his son, Belshazzer performed it.) This is not only an insult to the people, but jeopardises the relationship between the gods and city.
		Nabonidus also spends a great deal of time in Teima which is a big oasis - but it was a fruitless campaign for him.

	DANIEL - Chapter 5 Commentaries (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Nabonidus was a scholar and a worshiper of the moon-god Sin, rather than of Marduk, the god of Babylon who Nebuchadnezzar worshipped.
		Although Nabonidus was officially king, he left Babylon and the rule to his son Belshazzar in 550 B.C.They ruled as co-regents.
		In this case it may indicate that Belshazzar's mother, the wife of Nabonidus, was the daughter of Nebuchadnezzar.

	Babylon
		This is chiefly derived from a chronological tablet containing the annals of Nabonidus, supplemented by another inscription of Nabonidus where he recounts his restoration of the temple of the Moon-god at Harran; as well as by a proclamation of Cyrus issued shortly after his formal recognition as king of Babylonia.
		It was in the sixth year of Nabonidus (549 BC) that Cyrus, the Achaemenid Persian "king of Anshan" in Elam, revolted against his suzerain Astyages, "king of the Manda" or Medes, at Ecbatana.
		Nabonidus, in fact, had excited a strong feeling against himself by attempting to centralize the religion of Babylonia in the temple of Merodach (Marduk) at Babylon, and while he had thus alienated the local priesthoods, the military party despised him on account of his antiquarian tastes.

		The Nabonidus Chronicle verified the Belshazzar as the son of Nabonidus, who was the known king of Babylonian Empire.
		We know from the Nabonidus Chronicle that the New Year Festival was cancelled in the seventh to the eleventh years of his reign because he did not return to Babylon from his new capital in Teima in northern Arabia.
		Nabonidus dwelt in Teima, north of the Arabian desert as recorded in the Nabonidus Chronicle.

		Belshazzar was the son of Nabonidus and was never the king.
		Nabonidus was captured soon after and was either executed or given a minor official post.
		Biblical literalists have tried to argue that Belshazzar could be called the king of Babylon because he ruled during the 10-year period that Nabonidus had abandoned the city and performed some royal functions, but the contemporary texts say the Babylonians were angry because their New Year Festival was not performed during that 10-year period.

		Nabonidus came to the throne after the assassination of two of the successors of Nebuchadnezzar, even though he had no direct family connection with the Babylonian royal family.
		A number of Nabonidus' inscriptions include historical references intended to show that his irregular accession to the throne had the blessing of the gods and of earlier Babylonian kings.

	Ancient Babylonia - Nabonidus Stele
		Nabonidus was known to be the king on the throne at the time of the Medo-Persian conquest of Babylon.
		He went into a self imposed exile in the Oasis of Temâ in the Arabian desert and was absent from the City of Babylon for a period of seven to ten years.
		He attempted to restore the primacy of a religion based on the worship of the moon god Sin and thus became very unpopular with the priests and court of Babylon.

	cyrus - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		From the cylinder of Nabonidus we learn that the Medes had been very successful in their warlike operations, and had gone even as far afield as Haran, which they had besieged.
		Nabonidus, before the invasion of his territory by the Persian forces, was evidently well disposed toward him, and looked upon him, as we have seen, as "the young servant of Merodach," the patron deity of Babylon.
		Dissatisfaction on the part of the Babyloninn priesthood was undoubtedly at the bottom of their discontent, however, and may be held to supply a sufficient reason, though it does not redound to the credit of Babylonian patriotism.

		Yet "while Nabonidus spent ten years in Tema [in Arabia], Cyrus was busily occupied in amassing an empire [an empire now known as the Medo-Persian Empire or simply the Persian Empire].
		Belshazzar, as we've already seen, was the son of Nabonidus, ruling as coregent for him in Babylon.
		Thus Nabonidus seems to have married Nebuchadnezzar's daughter Nitocris, and their son was Nabonidus II, otherwise known as Belshazzar or Balthazar.
