  • 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).

  • Evolución De La Presencia Guti En Mesopotamia Y Su Papel En El Colapso Del Imperio Acadio
    EVOLUCIÓN DE LA PRESENCIA GUTI EN MESOPOTAMIA Y SU PAPEL EN EL COLAPSO DEL IMPERIO ACADIO Elena Torres (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) RESUMEN La presencia de población guti en Mesopotamia se ha interpretado tradicionalmente como producto de la irrupción brusca de este pueblo de los Zagros en la Mesopotamia de finales del Imperio acadio. Los testimonios de que disponemos son escasos y oscuros, indirectos en su mayoría. Nos permiten vislumbrar sin embargo que Gutium está presente en la zona desde mucho antes, y su relación con la cultura mesopotámica adopta diferentes roles en distintos momentos: como frontera oriental en las vías de comercio a larga distancia en época sumeria, como tributarios del Imperio sargónida y finalmente como el grupo de población que aprovecha una coyuntura de vacío de poder al final del período acadio para hacerse con el control efímero de una pequeña parte del territorio que antes había conformado el gran Imperio acadio. ABSTRACT The presence of Gutian population in Mesopotamia has been traditionally interpreted as a consequence of the irruption of this people from the Zagros into the Mesopotamia of the late Akkadian empire. The statements we have are scant and dubious, mainly indirect. They let us nevertheless discern that Gutium is present on the zone from much before, and its relationships with Mesopotamian culture adopt different rolls in different moments: as an eastern border in the long distance merchandising routes at Sumerian time, as tributary land of the Sargonid empire, and finally as a group of population that takes advantage of the power vacuum at the end of the Akkadian period to obtain an ephemeral control of a small part of the territory that had once constituted the great Akkadian empire.

  • " King of Kish" in Pre-Sarogonic Sumer
    "KING OF KISH" IN PRE-SAROGONIC SUMER* TOHRU MAEDA Waseda University 1 The title "king of Kish (lugal-kiski)," which was held by Sumerian rulers, seems to be regarded as holding hegemony over Sumer and Akkad. W. W. Hallo said, "There is, moreover, some evidence that at the very beginning of dynastic times, lower Mesopotamia did enjoy a measure of unity under the hegemony of Kish," and "long after Kish had ceased to be the seat of kingship, the title was employed to express hegemony over Sumer and Akked and ulti- mately came to signify or symbolize imperial, even universal, dominion."(1) I. J. Gelb held similar views.(2) The problem in question is divided into two points: 1) the hegemony of the city of Kish in early times, 2) the title "king of Kish" held by Sumerian rulers in later times. Even earlier, T. Jacobsen had largely expressed the same opinion, although his opinion differed in some detail from Hallo's.(3) Hallo described Kish's hegemony as the authority which maintained harmony between the cities of Sumer and Akkad in the First Early Dynastic period ("the Golden Age"). On the other hand, Jacobsen advocated that it was the kingship of Kish that brought about the breakdown of the older "primitive democracy" in the First Early Dynastic period and lead to the new pattern of rule, "primitive monarchy." Hallo seems to suggest that the Early Dynastic I period was not the period of a primitive community in which the "primitive democracy" was realized, but was the period of class society in which kingship or political power had already been formed.

Email: [email protected] Rebatiendo a Zecharia Sitchin Gabriel García INTRODUCCIÓN El best-seller de Zecharia Sitchin “El 12º Planeta” está más vivo que nunca gracias a Internet, la red de redes. Se han formado ingentes cantidades de grupos de conversación en torno a su teoría, en una dinámica tan peligrosa que la mayoría de ellos han terminado no sólo aceptándola sino ampliándola sin miramientos ningunos. Así, los “anunnaki” (extraterrestres que crearon al hombre) han pasado de vivir en Nibiru, el 12º Planeta de nuestro sistema solar (contando a la Luna), a ser originarios de las Pléyades, de terceras dimensiones “de amor” e incluso ¡¡de la Matrix!!. Asimismo, a la cronología presentada por Sitchin se han añadido otras que nos hablan de seres reptiloides, divinos y semidivinos, y toda una suerte de entidades biológicas inteligentes que no cabrían en diez enciclopedias como las de Tolkien. Como la mayoría de los crédulos son como loros, es decir que repiten lo que oyen sin ni siquiera detenerse a analizarlo, se ha formado una gran mentira que en forma de bola de nieve recorre la red haciéndose cada vez más grande. Las teorías de Sitchin son criticables desde todos sus ángulos; el autor tan sólo necesitó coser sus mentiras con fina aguja al tejido de la auténtica historia ya desentrañada en su mayor parte por los expertos sumerólogos y arqueólogos. Separando ambas, y conociendo de antemano la historia pues, lo que nos queda es la mentira.
