| | Hammurabi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Hammurabi (Akkadian, from Amorite ˤAmmurāpi, "The Kinsman is a Healer" (ˤAmmu "paternal kinsman" + Rāpi "healer"); also transliterated Ammurapi, Hammurapi or Khammurabi) was the sixth king of Babylon. | | | However it was the Kassites, led by their king Agumkakrine, who eventually ruled Babylon. | | | A great literary revival followed the recovery of Babylonian independence, and the rule of Babylon was obeyed as far as the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. |

| | This is also the period to which we ascribed the el-Amarna correspondence; and not the Assyrian and Babylonian material, but the Biblical and Egyptian evidence compelled us to move the beginning of the New Kingdom from -1580 to ca. | | | When the end of the Twelfth Dynasty was brought down to -1680, there was no time left for the Thirteenth; and with only one century for the Hyksos, the bottom of the Middle Kingdom had apparently reached a level below which it could not be reasonably or securely dropped. | | | It was also observed: “The period of the First Dynasty of Babylon has always been a landmark in early history, because by it the chronology of Babylonia can be fixed, with a reasonable margin of error.” |

| | I have read on a website recently (sorry can't find the url), that the cuneiform tablets found with the name of the great Babylonian king Hammurabi were actually mistranslated (perhaps deliberately), and that Hammurabi's real name was in fact Abraham. | | | We know that the word abi, "father" in both western and eastern Semitic is not alien to cuneiform, and Hammurabi's grandson's name "Abi-eshuh" in cuneiform clearly has the element. | | | I felt therefore that I would have had to do a fair bit of research to refute this claim, and it might have involved materials only available to specialists. |
