Mumwaka wa 2007, syaabupampu umwi acikolo ca University of Vienna mucisi ca Austria uutegwa Michael Jursa, wakalijana bbwe eeli naakali kuvwuntauzya muŋanda muyobwedwa zyintu zyakaindi iitegwa British Museum. Jursa wakalizyiba izyina lya Nebo-sarisekimu (Nabu-sharrussu-ukin, kweelana ambolyakali kulembwa abana Babuloni), inkumekume yabana Babuloni waambidwe mu Bbaibbele kulugwalo lwa Jeremiya 39:3.a

Abbwe kulembedwe kuti Nebo-sarisekimu wakatola ngolida kutempele lya Marduki naa kuti Merodaki, mupati wabaleza babana Babuloni uulembedwe mu Bbaibbele. (Jeremiya 50:2) Bbwe eeli ilitondezya kuti masimpe ingolida zyakatolwa kutempele lyakalembwa mumwaka wakkumi, mwezi wa 11, alimwi mubuzuba bwa 18 bwabulelo bwa Nebukadinezara. Nokuba boobo, kutumina ngolida kunyina ambokwakaswaangene akusaalwa kwa Jerusalemu kwalo kwakacitika myaka iili mbwiibede yakatobela. (2 Bami 25:8-10, 13-15) Pele syaabupampu Jursa wakaamba kuti: “Kujana cintu cili mbuli bbwe eeli ililembedwe zyina lyamuntu waambidwe mu Bbaibbele kabbadela zyintu kutempele mu Babuloni alimwi ilizubulula buzuba bwini-bwini mbwaakacita boobo, ncintu citacitiki-citiki.” Akaambo kakwaambwa kuti ncimwi cazyintu ziyandika kapati icakajanwa mubuvwuntauzi bujatikizya Bbaibbele ibwamazuba aano, muteende wakucisi ca Britain uutegwa Telegraph waamba kuti, ibbwe eeli “lilaamba kujatikizya kaambo kakuti mabbuku aansiku aamu Cizuminano Cakale ayeeme atwaambo twamasimpe.”
Nokuba boobo, ikusyomeka kwa Bbaibbele takuyeeme alwiiyo lujatikizya zyintu zyansiku pe. Bumboni bubotu kapati bulajanwa mubusinsimi bulembedwe mu Bbaibbele. (2 Petro 1:21) Mucikozyanyo, kakucili myaka yiinda ku 100, Jehova Leza kwiinda mumusinsimi Isaya, wakasinsima kuti zyintu zyoonse izyakali mu Jerusalemu “ziyootolwa ku-Babuloni.” (Isaya 39:6, 7) Mbubwenya buyo, kwiinda mumusinsimi Jeremiya, Leza wakasinsima kuti: “Buvubi boonse bwamunzi uno [Jerusalemu], ambono zyawo zyoonse, . . . njoozyaaba mumaanza aabasinkondonyina, nkabela bazoozisaala akuzitola . . . ku-Babuloni.”—Jeremiya 20:4, 5.
Nebo-sarisekimu wakali umwi wabasinkondonyina aabo, aboobo awalo wakali umwi wabaabo bakalibonena ameso kuzuzikizyigwa kwabusinsimi bwamu Bbaibbele. Masimpe, taakwe makani naa wakalizyi naa pe, wakatola lubazu mukuzuzikizyigwa kwabusinsimi oobu.
