King Nabonidus of Babylon focuses on everything else but the impending doom. He becomes the first archaeologist, stays away from Marduk, worships the moon and is generally an absent monarch. Amasis II rules over a golden era of Egypt, also blissfully unaware of the coming doom.Bimbisara assumes the throne of Magadha in India and begins the rise of the Magadhan Empire. Of these three monarchs, he is the only one who does not need to care about the rise of Cyrus. It will take a while until the Persians threaten India proper.

Herodotus tells us Croesus gave a bunch of nice things to Delphi and the other oracle. Many of the items were still seen in his day. That is why the Greeks said Rich as Croesus…The oracle famously tells Croesus that if he attacks the Persians he will destroy a mighty empire. LOL. But also to make an ally of whoever was the most powerful of the Greeks.Which great empire will prevail when the two power houses go up against each other?
