The Mede Persians. According to The Bible (Daniel 5:1-4) and confirmed by the Greek historian, Herodotus, in October of 539 BC, Belshazzar hosted a great feast inside Babylon, wining and dining a thousand exalted guests. A message was mysteriously written in the wall.
Mene: God hath numbered thy kingdom and finished it.
Tekel: Thou art weighed in the balance and found wanting.
Peres, Upharsin: Thy kingdom is devided and given to the Medes and Persians.
The Babylonians withdrew within the city's "impregnable" walls, made light of Cyrus' seige and continued their feast. However, Cyrus' army, led by his general, Gobryas, diverted the waters of the Euphrates, waded under the city's walls and entered Babylon without opposition. They were welcomed by the Babylonian citizens who detested Nabonidus and Belshazzar and Cyrus' army infiltrates Babylon.
