  • The Akkadian Empire
    RESTRICTED https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-hccc-worldcivilization/chapter/the-akkadian-empire/ The Akkadian Empire LEARNING OBJECTIVE • Describe the key political characteristics of the Akkadian Empire KEY POINTS • The Akkadian Empire was an ancient Semitic empire centered in the city of Akkad and its surrounding region in ancient Mesopotamia, which united all the indigenous Akkadian speaking Semites and the Sumerian speakers under one rule within a multilingual empire. • King Sargon, the founder of the empire, conquered several regions in Mesopotamia and consolidated his power by instating Akaddian officials in new territories. He extended trade across Mesopotamia and strengthened the economy through rain-fed agriculture in northern Mesopotamia. • The Akkadian Empire experienced a period of successful conquest under Naram-Sin due to benign climatic conditions, huge agricultural surpluses, and the confiscation of wealth. • The empire collapsed after the invasion of the Gutians. Changing climatic conditions also contributed to internal rivalries and fragmentation, and the empire eventually split into the Assyrian Empire in the north and the Babylonian empire in the south. TERMS Gutians A group of barbarians from the Zagros Mountains who invaded the Akkadian Empire and contributed to its collapse. Sargon The first king of the Akkadians. He conquered many of the surrounding regions to establish the massive multilingual empire. Akkadian Empire An ancient Semitic empire centered in the city of Akkad and its surrounding region in ancient Mesopotamia. Cuneiform One of the earliest known systems of writing, distinguished by its wedge-shaped marks on clay tablets, and made by means of a blunt reed for a stylus. Semites RESTRICTED Today, the word “Semite” may be used to refer to any member of any of a number of peoples of ancient Southwest Asian descent, including the Akkadians, Phoenicians, Hebrews (Jews), Arabs, and their descendants.

  • The Lagash-Umma Border Conflict 9
    CHAPTER I Introduction: Early Civilization and Political Organization in Babylonia' The earliest large urban agglomoration in Mesopotamia was the city known as Uruk in later texts. There, around 3000 B.C., certain distinctive features of historic Mesopotamian civilization emerged: the cylinder seal, a system of writing that soon became cuneiform, a repertoire of religious symbolism, and various artistic and architectural motifs and conven- tions.' Another feature of Mesopotamian civilization in the early historic periods, the con- stellation of more or less independent city-states resistant to the establishment of a strong central political force, was probably characteristic of this proto-historic period as well. Uruk, by virtue of its size, must have played a dominant role in southern Babylonia, and the city of Kish probably played a similar role in the north. From the period that archaeologists call Early Dynastic I1 (ED 11), beginning about 2700 B.c.,~the appearance of walls around Babylonian cities suggests that inter-city warfare had become institutionalized. The earliest royal inscriptions, which date to this period, belong to kings of Kish, a northern Babylonian city, but were found in the Diyala region, at Nippur, at Adab and at Girsu. Those at Adab and Girsu are from the later part of ED I1 and are in the name of Mesalim, king of Kish, accompanied by the names of the respective local ruler^.^ The king of Kish thus exercised hegemony far beyond the walls of his own city, and the memory of this particular king survived in native historical traditions for centuries: the Lagash-Umma border was represented in the inscriptions from Lagash as having been determined by the god Enlil, but actually drawn by Mesalim, king of Kish (IV.1).

  • The First Gilgamesh Conjectures About the Earliest Epic
    see Front matter at the end see bookmarks The First Gilgamesh Conjectures About the Earliest Epic Giorgio Buccellati University of California, Los Angeles/International Institute for Mesopotamian Area Studies Abstract: Out of the elements of the Sumerian cycle about Gilgamesh, a complex new epic was fashioned at the high point of the Akkadian period. The paper argues in favor of such a high date for the first composition of the epic as a literary whole, and situates it in the context of the Akkadian imperial experiment. Keywords: Gilgamesh, Bilgamesh, epic literature, Old Akkadian, Hurrians, Urkesh, Ebla The argument The Urkesh plaque: the reconfiguring of Enkidu Gilgamesh is the best known character of Mesopotamian The Urkesh plaque A7.36 (Figure 1) has been convincingly literature, and the eleven tablet composition that narrates its interpreted as representing the encounter of Gilgamesh adventures is universally recognized as a masterpiece of world and Enkidu.3 Two aspects of the analysis offered by Kelly- literature.

  • Revised Ancient Biblical Timeline
    PREFACE When I decided to write this book, I found I had two things to consider. One was what the book would say; and the other was what motivated me to write it. A brief account of why I chose to write this book can help make the nature of the work more understandable. For this reason, I will tackle the second consideration first. Like most Christians, I grew up with bible stories. I came to believe in the truth of what the Bible said. As my education in science developed, I also came to believe in the truth of the scientific model of the universe and the development of the human species. However, I was troubled. There did not seem to be much physical evidence to show that the descriptive picture presented in the Bible actually matched the scientific model. For instance, Noah's flood is a well-known story, and pivotal event in biblical history; but the physical evidence is lacking. People have been looking for Noah's ark without success for over 200 years; and, there seems to be no evidence of flood debris in the Middle East around the time when the Bible says it should be, ~2300 BC. This is just one example of a lack of scientific evidence available to support the biblical account. After much study I discovered, what I believe, shows how both the scientific picture and the biblical picture are telling the same true story. Only the audience is different. I discovered that there really is physical evidence to support biblical events.

Pournelle Prevailing theories of the evolution of early complex societies in southern Mesopotamia presume a uniform, arid landscape transited by Tigris and Euphrates distributaries. These theories hold that it was the seventh millennium BCE introduction of irrigation technologies from the northern alluvium to the south that began the punctuated evolution of Mesopotamian irrigation schemes. In this view, irrigation- dependent agro-pastoral production was the primary stimulus to urbanization and, millennia later, the emergence of city-states. In this book, I cast serious doubt on the landscape characterization underlying this model. I argue that much of the archaic alluvial landscape of southern Iraq consisted in large part, not of desert or steppe, but of wetlands, and that this finding requires a comprehensive reassessment of southern Mesopotamian resource management strategies and their role in emergent complex polities. Chapter One examines a Western Enlightenment tradition hostile to uncultivated wetlands. In Chapter Two, I discuss the role of imagery in archaeological research design, distinguish physical terrain from ideological landscape as objects of investigation, and address tendencies to conflate visibility of archaeological data with visualizations of the past. In Chapter Three, using satellite imagery to integrate geomorphologic and paleoclimatic evidence, I examine the Tigris-Euphrates delta, identify courses of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, locate the Persian Gulf head, and reconstruct terrain surfaces as they may have appeared five—six thousand years ago.

  • Historia De Elam, El Vecino Mesopotámico.- Tercer Milenio
    TERCER MILENIO SUMER Y ELAM Los primeros reyes de los que tenemos noticias nos son transmitidos por una tradición con- servada a principios del Segundo milenio'. Formaban parte de una dinastía de Awan, cuyo fun- dador llevaba el nombre de Peli, y se componía de doce reyes, algunos de los cuales son men- cionados en otros documentos. Esta ciudad de Awan ya había ejercido el poder en Sumer duran- te 356 años, según la tradición de la lista real sumeria, en una época protohistórica2.De los tres reyes que la componían, sólo se conserva el comienzo del nombre del tercero (Kul ...). Sin embargo, ya con anterioridad a esta dinastía, Elam debía ser una región de peso, pues sus conflictos con Sumer empiezan desde muy temprano. Las primeras noticias de hostilidades en- tre ambos países las proporciona la lista real sumeria, en una glosa al nombre de Ernmebaragesi, rey de la primera dinastía de Kish (hacia el 2700 a.c.), donde se informa que Elam fue vencido por este rey. ~Emmebaragesi,quien doblegó las armas de la tierra de Elam, fue rey y reinó 900 años...»'. Esta glosa es interesante, pues indica la importancia de Elam para los sumerios, si bien no nos informa de los motivos u ocasión de este enfrentamiento, no pudiendo sacar por tanto nin- gún tipo de consecuencia política. Nuestras siguientes noticias, no son textuales, sino arqueológicas y provienen ya de la era de la Primera dinastía de Ur. En esta época, los cilindros-sellos de Susa no difieren prácticamente de los cilindros sumerios. Es posible que fuese en este momento cuando el dios de Susa, Inshushinak, transformara su nombre de origen sumerio, que se escribía Nin-Shushinak, «Señor de Susa~~.No obstante, la glíptica deja entrever la continuidad de las tradiciones locales.

  • Parte Ii Scritture E Libri Nell'antica Mesopotamia
    PARTE II SCRITTURE E LIBRI NELL’ANTICA MESOPOTAMIA Quadro storico La nascita della scrittura è strettamente legata alla civiltà sumerica1 e alla città di Uruk,2 in un periodo collocabile verso la fine del IV millennio. I Sumeri si insediarono sul delta del Tigri e dell’Eufrate3 tra il 5000 e il 4000 a. C. e svilupparono una fiorente cultura di tipo urbano (le loro principali città furono Kish, Nippur, Uruk, Ur, Lagash, Eridu,4 tutte nella regione che si stende tra Bagdad e Bassora). Più o meno nello stesso periodo delle popolazioni semitiche, appartenenti a tribù semi-nomadi di allevatori, cominciarono a stabilirsi più a nord, nel territorio che prese poi il nome di Akkad. A differenza dei Sumeri, che sembra non abbiano più avuto rapporti con la loro terra di origine, rimasta misteriosa, i Semiti furono continuamente rafforzati da successive ondate migratorie, sino a diventare una potente popolazione. Sumeri e Semiti vivevano in comunità che facevano capo a città- stato, governate da un monarca, e condividevano la stessa cultura economica, senza particolari manifestazioni di rivalità o di inimicizia, se non in circostanze occasionali. Molti Sumeri vivevano probabilmente in città accadiche e viceversa, anche per ragioni di commercio. Ma probabilmente i Sumeri erano, cone dice Bottéro, “plus inventifs, plus ouverts, plus hardis que les Sémites”5 e per questa regione la scrittura nacque nell’ambito della loro civiltà. I dati cronologici possono essere riassunti sinteticamente in questo modo. Ci si riferisce alla Mesopotamia dal VI al V millennio come al periodo Ubaid (a sua volta in 1 La bibliografia sull’antica Mesopotamia, sia archeologica, sia storica, è sterminata.

  • The Akkadian Empire /Əˈkeɪdiən/[2] Was an Empire Centered in the City
    Akkad The Akkadian Empire /əˈkeɪdiən/[2] was an empire centered in the city of Akkad /ˈækæd/[3] and its surrounding region in ancient Mesopotamia which united all the indigenous Akkadian speakingSemites and the Sumerian speakers under one rule.[4] During the 3rd millennium BC, there developed a very intimate cultural symbiosis between the Sumerians and the Semitic Akkadians, which included widespread bilingualism.[5] Akkadian gradually replaced Sumerian as a spoken language somewhere around the turn of the 3rd and the 2nd millennium BC (the exact dating being a matter of debate).[6] The Akkadian Empire reached its political peak between the 24th and 22nd centuries BC, following the conquests by its founder Sargon of Akkad (2334–2279 BC). Under Sargon and his successors, Akkadian language was briefly imposed on neighboring conquered states such as Elam. Akkad is sometimes regarded as the first empire in history,[7] though there are earlier Sumerian claimants.[8] After the fall of the Akkadian Empire, the Akkadian peoples of Mesopotamia eventually coalesced into two major Akkadian speaking nations; Assyria in the north, and a few centuries later,Babylonia in the south.
