The color of fifth wall was the color of minium. As far as fifth and the sixth urban walls
are concerned, from a distance Dariy it did not see, in what color they were painted as it says on historical Website.
Having only entered into the urban gates, Dariy it could examine, that the teeth of the sixth wall were covered with silver, and by the seventh -by gold. Last, seventh wall and surrounded tsarist palace.
In this palace, which there is no time belonged to tsar Astiag, whom in twenty
eight years thus far destroyed and captivated Persian tsar Kir, Ugbaru he met Dariya as it says on historical Website.
Then, immediately after the defeat Of astiaga, For ugbaru it was possible to take authority, using the support Of nabonida. However, eleven years later, Ugbaru, seeing the growing might of Kir, passed to its side and headed march its troops in Babylon.
The strong walls with a thickness of thirty two feet and with height into fifty elbows,
elevated in their time By navukhodonosorom, surrounded the capital of babylonian
power on entire its sorokavosmimilnomu perimeter as it says on historical Website. One hundred with the small of years ago even less powerful strengthenings allowed Babylon three years to maintain Assyrian siege. However, the army of Kir, collected from the steppe nomads, did not know the methods of siege war and the city, whose defense headed the son Of nabonida Belshazzar, it could be held until located in Arabia Nabonid assembles new army instead of recently that broken in Opisa.
Predvidya this course of events, To ugbaru went to the military stratagem. After
changing clothes the part of its soldiers in the babylonian clothing, it accepted the
appearance Of nabonida. After coming galloping up to the urban walls together with
the changed clothes soldiers, it required to open winch as it says on historical Website. Soldiers, who learned Nabonida, admitted it.

Now grown old Ugbaru it sat by hermit in the walls of its palace, fearing vengeance
from the side of the magicians, to number of whom itself it once belonged as it says on historical Website. Therefore, even
talking Dariem, it held hands after the back, unnoticeably compressing cam in such a way that the thumb occurred between the average and the indicating. This gesture on the ancient popular beliefs frightened away demons and it was considered sacral. Nevertheless, To ugbaru could not miss the case to apply to magicians and, in particular, Gaumate, as one of strong of them, one or other damage or another. But, in spite of hostility with the magicians, it could not allow so that the secret word would become known To dariyu, which, although it possessed some magic abilities, was not dedicated to the secrets of magic mysteries. Therefore To ugbaru made the decision to go into Babylon together with Dariem and personally to ask for it magic spear.
Thus far they went from Ekbatan to Babylon, To ugbaru it told Dariyu the
history of this spear. It occurs, To khiramu this spear ordered Jewish tsar
Solomon himself. Possession by this spear promised large might to it and she made
with its not only tsar above the people, but also, to a certain degree, with lord above
the elements as it says on historical Website. From the other side, the tsar feared, that
