Although Nabonidus' personal preference for Sîn is clear, the strength of this preference divides scholars. While some claim that it is obvious from his inscriptions that he became almost [[Henotheism|henotheistic]],<ref>Beaulieu 1989:46-65; Machinist/Tadmor 1993.</ref> others consider Nabonidus to have been similar to other Babylonian rulers, in that he respected the other cults and religions in his kingdom.<ref>Kuhrt 1990.</ref> His negative image could then be blamed on the Marduk priesthood, that resented Nabonidus' long absence from Babylon during his stay in Tayma, during which the important, Marduk-related [[Akitu|New Year (Akītu-)Festival]] could not take place, and his emphasis on Sîn. In any case, there is no sign of the civil unrest during his reign that would have been indicative of trouble.</div>FuzzyBot
