ANYAKUFUFUDZA pya m’madembe agumana mabhuloko mazinji m’madembe a Bhabhilonya akuti akhaphatisirwa toera kumanga nzinda unoyu. Mwakubverana na Robert Koldewey, mabhuloko anewa akhacitwa m’maforno a “kunja kwa nzinda kwakuti kukhali na dongo yadidi na nkhuni . . . zizinji.

Pinthu pidalembwa kale kakamwe pisapangizambo kuti atsogoleri a Bhabhilonya akhaphatisirambo maforno anewa toera kucita pinthu pyakuipa. Paul-Alain Beaulieu, mpfundzisi wa Mbiri ya Asirya pa Universidhadhe ya ku Toronto, alonga: “Pinthu pyakulembwa kale pidagumanwa m’madembe a Bhabhilonya . . . pisapangiza kuti mambo akhapereka ntemo wakuti onsene akhakhonda kumbvera na kumulemedza akhafunika kupiswa m’maforno anewa.” Mwacitsandzo, Mambo Nabhukodhonozore alonga mafala awa: “Afudzeni, apiseni, . . . apiseni m’maforno akuphikira . . . citisani kuti utci wawo uende kudzulu, pontho apheni mukuaponya pa moto.”
