| | "Forgotten Empires" Remembered - Text |
 | | One of his first acts as king was to restore the native succession in Babylon (the coup which brought him to power is attributed to a religious outrage at his father's sack of the holy city of Babylon). | | | Sarri, deposed and killed by the Assyrians, is the Takip-Sarri mentioned by the Hittites. | | | In the Jerusalem Chronology of the Israelite Monarchies (JCIM), it was shown that Assyrian history and the biblical narrative are best reconciled by the realization that a period of 30 years passed between the death of Ashur-Nirari V and Tiglath-Pileser III (the latter considered in conventional history to be the immediate successor of the former). |

| | THE ASSYRIAN EMPIRE |
| | Though the Assyrian records stress the efforts made by Ashurbanipal to maintain good relations and to continue the restoration of Babylon which had suffered from Sennacherib’s destruction, there was clearly resentment against the Assyrian supremacy and rivalry between the two brothers. | | | He laid waste the king of the Elamites, and after conquering Babylon &; it had already been rebuilt — instead of razing it as Sennacherib would have done, he simply moved in and ruled. | | | He also corresponded with his subject kings who were sometimes permitted to continue their rule under Assyrian control. |

| | This has led some to suggest that Gilgamesh himself was a historical king of Uruk, and not just a legendary one. | | | Their rules are measured in sars - periods of 3600 years - the next unit up after 60 in sumerian counting (3600 = 60x60), and in ners - units of 600. | | | The kingship was believed to be handed down by the gods, and could be passed from one city to another by military conquest. |

| | Ashuruballit, notwithstanding his Assyrian name, was a Mitannian; and the so-called Middle Assyrian state he founded is but a new phase of the Mitanni/Medish [sic] rule in Assyria. | | | This would explain the apparent dearth, again, of Hammurabic archaeology in Babylon [6500]: "Due to extensive later rebuilding and the recent rise of the water table, the city of Babylon is virtually unknown archaeologically for this period, and only a handful of tablets from it have survived". | | | He procrastinated as long as he could, because, as he claimed, the king of Hatti was threatening his own territories (EA#164:18ff.), including the city of Tunip (e.g. |

| | But Edwin R. Thiele indicates in his writings that Biblical chronology must conform to the Assyrian eponyms along with the apparent 763 BC eclipse of the sun (A Chronology of the Hebrew Kings, 1977, pp 28-30, 82-85). | | | This may be the reason the eclipse of 763 BC gives a false reading and that the suppressed eclipse of the Esarhaddon Chronicle has not found a place in secular chronology. | | | Thiele’s main apparent goal is to fit Biblical chronology into the broken Assyrian chronology. |
