That’s 6th century BC, for those who might not know.

Conquered by Cyrus the Great of the Bible.

Rock inscriptions? Do they translate as “We are the priests of the temple of Syrinx?” Jk. Very interesting find.

I hope they don’t blow it up like the Taliban did, or tear it down like Antifa does.

;)

The real Nabonidus fought Conan:

Thak was of a race considered halfway between man and ape, that lived in the mountains on the eastern fringes of Zamora. Thak was captured and kept by Nabonidus as a servant and a pet. He was highly devious and possessed near-human intelligence. Eventually, Thak grew jealous of, and rebellious towards his master, and took control of the system of traps that Nabonidus had installed in his house; using them to eliminate a party of nationalistic enemies of Nabonidus who had come to assassinate him.

Reminder: Medina - the “second holiest city is Islam” - at the time of this inscription was made was MAJORITY JEWS. Decades later, Mohammed betrayed them and massacred and exiled the entire mass of Jews.
