Babylon - Cyrus entered Babylon

Time: Tuesday Oct 13, 539 BC

Place: Babylon (Present-Day Iraq)

Details: Nabonidus fled to Borsippa, and on 12 October, after Cyrus' engineers had diverted the waters of the Euphrates, the soldiers of Cyrus entered Babylon without the need for a battle. Nabonidus surrendered and was deported. Gutian guards were placed at the gates of the great temple of Marduk, where the services continued without interruption.
