Unreferenced and badly written, this appears to be a hoax. I haven't checked every possible reference work, but I have looked for it in some general handbooks on ancient Mesopotamia, and if it is so obscure that it is not mentioned there, anyone knowing about it wouldn't make the silly mistakes of chronology and geography present in this article ("from city Babylon 1000 years ago", "the neighboring India"). / up land 11:27, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Joke by anon with no other contributions, added to the baka article and split off to its own article in good faith when this was made a disambiguation. It seems to be based on a folk etymology of the word honeymoon. No useful content. Andrewa 12:19, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Delete, amounts to a drinking joke, yawn, article provides no evidence of encyclopedic content. Wyss 21:36, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
