An immense image of gold had been erected on the plain of Dura, apparently near the city of Babylon. The image was to be inaugurated during a special ceremony attended by high officials who were expected to bow down before the image at the sounding of an array of musical instruments.
Duras klajumā, kas, domājams, atradās netālu no Babilonas pilsētas, bija uzsliets milzīgs zelta tēls, un tā iesvētīšanai bija noorganizēta īpaša ceremonija, uz kuru bija sapulcējušies valsts augstākie ierēdņi.
